Currently master-slave however I'm looking to a 'smarter' more elegant takeover. For instance, accounting for drunken NOC monkey in data center pulling the wrong cables repeatedly during his work and quickly replacing them. That scenario just happened to me, actually. I ended up on someone else's private switch :| The idea being, quickly figure out if crossroads1 is going to be intermittent for some time. I am __just__ now moving from pound to crossroads .. so I still have some learning curve to get through. > So basically the only 'redudant' part is the [ crossroads ] instance, > the rest is 'reused' by both of them :) Yes, whichever crossroads LB is bound to the (non local) CVIP is directing traffic over nn Cherokee nodes. Cherokee takes care of the rest, which is why I'm urging people to use it (and even lowering my fee for setup if they do). As noted prior, the only funky part is tweaking the takeover. You don't want it to be like a flickering DPDT toggle switch which can easily happen. > I was thinking to test the Cherokee MySQL balancer with PHP language > support :) :) :) I am able to deploy two servers so that could be nice.

(Or basically > forced me to think out of the box because no real 'hardware' is involved.) Well, real hardware could be .. for instance something similar is running very happy behind a webmux right now. But with stuff like Crossroads and even Pound available .. its sort of silly to buy that stuff unless you really need the support.
