MySQL Load Balancing

[Ed Pauley II]

I am looking into a scale-out solution for MySQL. I have read white 
papers and searched the web but I can't find a load balancer that claims 
to work well for MySQL.  MySQL's white paper shows NetScaler in the 
scale-out stack but nothing on Citrix.com mentions MySQL. I also read 
that friendster wrote a custom script for NetScaler to work in a MySQL 
environment. I would rather not have to do that. Is there an out-of-box 
solution for load balancing MySQL. My understanding is that MySQL is a 
little more complicated than HTTP load balancing, which we already do 
with Coyote Point Equalizers. I have thought about LVS. Has anyone had 
any experience with load balancing MySQL? Any recommendations? Thanks in 
advance.
