RE: Database Replication Over the internet
If your internet connections aren't very fast and stable, or perhaps dialup or similar you can do a poor-mans replication. I do this and after lots of starts and stops on my scripts that get the data to the slave server it's finally working very good. When you turn on bin-log in my.cnf it just starts keeping a log of all inserts, deletes and updates so the slave can connect to it and recreate all those statements in sequence and therefore keep a perfectly replicated copy of the database. I just have the master produce the binary log and use "mysqlbinlog" after a "mysqladmin flush-logs" to extract the ascii contents (all the inserts, deletes and updates) from the log and ship them off to another server and just pipe them through the standard mysql client. It's a bit tricky but very possible. I use uucp over a TCP (internet) connection to move the files. Old school but very tried true and tested... If you have good solid and fast internet connections for both you shouldn't have a problem doing regular replication though.
