I did consider configuring it in such a way that we have: hide mysql_servers = slavedetails : masterdetails When it tries to write to the slave it could fail, and then attempt the write to the master, which then replicates back to the slave. That's not a very tidy solution though. I'd rather choose the db connection explicitly than exim to try them in order until one works... > Apologies, Philip. You told us what we needed all along....
