How do we handle overlap?

When I use SO I see a load of questions that would be better asked on a spin-off site. Eg SQL questions that would be way better answered on DBA.se.

But SQL is a programming language and so fits on SO as well.

It's a situation that would only ever be resolved if any question on any site could be referenced and shown on any other site "simultaneously".

So a simple suggestion would be to allow posts to be sent to a different site where they would appear as native questions. Anyone clicking then would be taken to the originating site (but it'd be cool if they could appear in-situ, embedded in the target site)

This sounds vaguely similar to Reddit's crossposting but with combined response streams - is that what you have in mind?
