Hello, I have spent the last few hours searching through the archives for help with this question, and have also been reading the MySQL documentation, so please excuse me if I am being monumentally blind and missing something obvious.
I am trying to set up a MySQL installation like so: R/W DB RO DB Machine A: fred hank Machine B: hank fred So, Machine A will be Master for 'fred' and slave for 'hank' and Machine B will be Master for 'hank' and slave for 'fred' My theory is that in worst case scenario and one of the machines goes belly up, it would be a relatively easy change to switch the readonly DB on the other machine into RW mode. I cant see a way in the config to enable this kind of setup. Am I missing something very obvious, or is it more complicated than I thought? It is purely the setup config/theory I am looking for here, once that is sorted ill work on the fail over mechanisms myself. Any help/advice/assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
