Replication - if the master fails...

[Stephen Patterson]

We're currently operating 1 MySQL server and are investigating methods for having a primary and secondary server (with the secondary taking over if the primary fails). I know about replication in MySQL, and was thinking of using that to keep the secondary in sync, if the primary should fail, is it possible to set up the secondary in its place? The docs don't seem to clear on that.
