Hi,
Our healthcare organization has 2 geographical locations which I will call corporate_office and satellite_office. Currently, we run a medical application from a MySQL server at the corporate_office. Users at the satellite_office use the same server. Speed across the WAN is acceptable. We want to set up replication to guard against loss of WAN connectivity. All workstations should continue to use the MySQL server at the corporate_office unless the WAN link goes down. Then users at the satellite_office would switch to their own local server for both SELECT and UPDATE, until such time as the WAN link comes back up and the databases are re-synchronized. Then they would switch back to the corporate_office. Is this possible? Will it work robustly? I have been reading the MySQL manual and there are seemingly many subtleties to setting up replication correctly. I would greatly appreciate some input from the experienced members of this list.
