I've integrated an replication support in my object abstraction layer in php. (evrything is running over this layer - no direct queries in the application) in short words: each table has the fields inode_id (int4) and mtime (timestamp). on each write operation, the mtime must be updated. from time to time (i.e. once per minute) an script runs over the db, fetches out all new records and posts them to the other nodes. this way, evry node can write anytime (masterless). but this brings some problems on highly-written databases - conflicts may occour. i didnt find an better solution yet, but still works for all of my apps, even running over email :) cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux ITS Webhosting ab 5 EUR/Monat.
