Replication is my next best option...  However, at this time replication is
a one-way street, being if the master goes down the slave can not queue up
inserts so when the master comes back up they currently cannot sync back
together.

I believe I could accomplish something like this, using replication and then
synching the slave to master with php, if the master goes down.

Does anyone know the actual lag time when 100's of updates are happening per
minute?

 - Can I insert into the master and select from the slave and get the latest
record in the very same script, nanoseconds later?

TIA!
