I currently run LVS (pre-distribution) on my farm, which gets about 100M 
hits/month.

Good points about LVS are that it is completely rock solid, and runs on 
minimal hardware.

I have never run MySQL behind it, as I think that would be a bit flaky for 
a live site. Probably
worth checking out though. I would think that instead of LVS Load 
Balancing, server failover
might be a more viable path for MySQL.

        Subject:        MySQL & Web Clustering...


Hi All,

We have recently acquired some new machines for our ASP service, and I
am investigating different options and setups to optimize everything.

We currently have one large DB server, with RAID5, etc, running mysql
and a few smaller servers for web applications, and e-mail.  These
smaller servers arent all identical in their software, and they run
different services.

We currently have reached a certain limit in the DB as well as in some
of our applications on the webservers, hence the need for something
expandable.

I have read slightly about MySQLCluster, as well as some other solutions
such as openMosix, Mosix and LVS.  I was wondering if you guys have
experience, and what you would recommend for the DB and for the
webservers.  I still want to maintain them separate, even if I end up
having 2 different clusters, I prefer to keep the DB away from the
application for security reasons.

Thanks!
Roy
