In Apache config, link the article url to a static copy of the article...
Two ways:
Mod Rewrite - easiest and very flexible. Ie. you could create a rule that people clicking the article from within your forum reach the article as usual while those clicking in from elsewhere get the static version of the article.
And/Or
Alias (or AliasMatch to handle multiple variations of a url) - more difficult and may not work well for various reasons.
Another option *may* be to redirect the article url away within vBulletin ... not sure if that's easily possible, but mention it anyways.
In short, Apache Mod Rewrite is likely the easiest way to redirect a highly linked url(s) away to a static page, etc to reduce Vbulletin DB load.
