Thanks for the reply Jeremy. What i need to build are a mysql master server with two nodes both active at the same time. Don't know how this is called in english but we call it an HA active-to-active; while standard HA clustering is considered active-to-passive because only one node at time is working while the other one it will come up only if the first one is falling. I'm not a DBA and i know very little on setting up DB servers, but for what i have understand from the online documentation, if i use a slave server with db replication, when the master fails, the slave can only manage queries and not commits; I've also read that db replication fo the master servers will be supported starting at v.5.0 of mysql. Now, how i can achieve the active-to-active task? I've tought to put up two nodes with a shared disk-array where the db stands, and to share the processes between the two nodes using openmosix. What do you (and the others) think about that? Any advice is really welcome! :) Thanks in advance for any reply!
