We been doing this for years. One DB server backend that updates multiple sites across multiple servers
Obviously all the sites need to connect to the db server which can be done using localhost (if everything is one one server) or you can grant access by IP address for a multi server environment
Then simply use a script (eg PHP, Perl etc) to produce your pages on-the-fly so any changes are instantly reflected accross all sites
If you have a high traffic page (eg your index page) then you may want to have a cron script update that page say once every hour rather than on-the-fly as it can overload the db server.
