I know MySQL won't do two way replication, so that option is out. Another option to improve performance would be clustering. I did a brief search at mysql.com and found that there are cluster solutions available on Solaris, AIX and SCO. I also did a google search but I didn't come up with much. Anyone know if there is a BSD + MySQL clustering solution? If anyone found one I would be more than willing to help out.
I know that we run on BSD now but if we ever switched to Linux there are two(warning that’s a pdf) solutions we could use.
<disclaimer>
1. This is more of a curiosity question than anything else, as I think a cluster / the effort required to maintain one would be overstepping our bounds with the gracious service that pair provides us.
2. Just to keep everything on the up and up, I do work for one of the companys I linked to. But am I in no way suggesting that PM buy into a proprietary, closed source, (maintenance nightmare) solution.

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
