2 servers, how to balance load though?

Alright, so I decided to pool bandwidth (got a private switch) and now my 2 servers are pooling. BUT, I tried to lower my load by splitting the mysql database to the new server. Unfortunately, the test didn't go well.

On the new server, the load was 0.12 and it took 5 seconds to load. While on the regular server (apache + mysql + everything) was at a 12.00 load and took 0.02 seconds to load.

I am using its external IP address to connect to. The my.cnf files are identical on both servers.

Any help?
