I was just wanting to duplicate services as much as possible, because access to the machines isn't the easiest of tasks in the event of failure. (I live in a different country to them). The heartbeat option is probably better than my switching DNS, I'll have to look into it. Just an off note, the create_tables_innoDB.mysql and create_tables.mysql from the CVS version I'm running appear to be different - the create_tables_innoDB doesn't include the auto_notification and auto_reply tables in, where as the create_tables does.
