There are a number of ways to do it.  We currently have 1 master mysql
server, and multiple replicas. We then load balance the reads only
from the replicas and writes go to the master database (all handled in
the code).  But I saw a presentation at the Boston MySQL Meetup.com
group about how to do master-master in mysql 5.  We're about to
implement this in the next few weeks.  If it's done this way both
reads and writes to the db can be load balanced.  We use
linuxvirtualserver.org (heartbeat, ipvsadm and ldirectord) for load
balancing.

You might be able to contact the Meetup organizer, Sherri
http://mysql.meetup.com/137/, she usually posts the presentations
online.
