I've never tried to cluster mysql (never had the need), but a quick Google of "mysql clustering" reveals a lot. On the front-end, you can always get by on the cheap using a project like python director (http://pythondirector.sourceforge.net/) or balance (http://www.inlab.de/balance.html). I'm currently using pydir for load balancing to a pool of smtp relays, and it works beautifully. Doesn't support a lot of the high-end schedulers like those found in commercial LB products (F5 Big-IP, Cisco Local Director, etc), but works well for simple load distribution (round-robin, leastconns, etc.). -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
