Is it possible to use 1 Serendipity install with 2 Databases and call from them based on conditions such as:
-time of day
-geo-location
-ip address
-useragent
If so a brief outline and some pointers for where to start would be appreciated?
Thanks.

Hi!
Yes, you could edit your serendipity_config_local.inc.php file. Inside there you can add your time of day / whatever checks, and depending on the output you set the $serendipty variables in that file accordingly to the one database or the other.

Okay, Thanks. Am I also correct in thinking that I could use just the one database but use a separate database prefix to achieve the same end?

Sure, that ends up the same!
