This is our situation: We have two servers running RHES3 with samba connections to a server running RHES4. (No, it's not dns. Believe me when I say I don't ever want to go through *that* pain again) Our ES4 server contains shared data that is not controlled through cvs. Our two ES3 servers contain our website which is controlled through cvs. Both our ES3 servers have mysql. The mysql dbs have our username/password (and other) information.
We are in the process of setting up ip failover using a dns round-robin. My concern about keeping the mysql dbs on the ES3 servers is the possibility of changing the db on one and also changing the db on the other; I don't know how to keep the changes synced. I was considering putting the mysql db on the ES4 server and both the ES3 servers would connect to the mysql db there. My partner in crime is concerned about this since it would be a single point of failure. This is my question: What would be the best configuration for maintaining database integrity? I don't mean just between what I outlined, but in general? Clusters seems to be overly complicated (from what I can understand of it). I just need some direction at this point.
