Hi guys,

  I've been doing some digging around and found some information about 
master/slave database duplication, but it always sees to focus on increasing 
query performance by spreading the db out.

  My situation is that there's a database which must absolutely, guaranteedly 
be operational 24x7x365 always forever. It must survive and still be 
operational through power failures, machine locks, and any other manner of 
scheduled or unscheduled downtime short of a bomb dropping on the co-lo.

  This would be relatively easy to do if the system was purely read-only: I'd 
simply duplicate my data across numerous machines and pull queries from them, 
perhaps on the other side of a load balancer to make no one machine have to be 
too painfully hit.

  However, this system is write-heavy (at least 50%, with periods of time 
reaching 80% or more). Therefore, I need to be able to do a store to one of 
the servers, and have that store propogate to the other machines (with 
appropriate software design to compensate for propogation delays and 
insert-order neutrality).

  Has anyone done this with two (or more, if possible!) machines? Is it 
possible to do at the present time?
