How do I access a remote database with a local MAMP development install?

What you are trying to do will not work as you local PCs will most likely get different IP addresses from time to time which will mean that you will have to reconfigure your server.

Your solution is much simpler…. just host the development site on your server, use the hosts file of your PCs to map whatever domain name you use for development to the IP of the server. You will also need some server side configuration to support that domain name, but since you use relatively respectable company, I assume it is something that you can do without having actual control of the domain, or use a subdomain of your site
