At work we have been assigned an additional server because the load for our current server is to much.
What I want to do now is have all my PHP Scripts on one Server ( Server 1) ran from another (server 2) to allow less stress on (server 1). Also I want to be able to have sub domain for server 2 on the same domain for server 1.
If anyone could point me in the right direction as to what I should be doing I would greatly appreciate this.
Thank you for any help.

If you're running more than just your website on server 1 I would recommend that you split up the responsibilities of the servers so that the two of them get a somewhat equal load, otherwise it seems that a loadbalancer would be the way to go.
I can't really see the purpose of including files from server 1 to server 2 since that will incur yet more load on server 1 while transferring the files from 1 to 2.
But I agree with the comment saying that you should go to serverfault, they are/should be more knowledgeable about these kind of questions.
