Has anyone considered writing a proxy to allow the client
and/or server software to connect to a single data source,
or would this defeat the purpose by having the software use
a single server as a proxy? :)
In addition, what are the issues involved with mirroring
a MySQL database between database servers?
I apologize to the list if this is considered off-topic
and non-beneficial, but I though I would try my luck, as
well. ;) Thanks, in advance, for replies and comments.
