Is there a halfway house between a single database and a full master-slave 
setup?

I have a database with one "piggish" table, and I'd like to direct queries that 
search the pig to a duplicate database, where it won't affect all the routine 
traffic.  

I could definitely do this by setting up a slave server, but for my purposes it 
would be just as effective, and lots easier, if mysql could automatically 
maintain a duplicate of the database.  Presumably this would work internally 
like an internal auto-slave, with a binary log of changes to the master 
database self-consumed to maintain the duplicate.

As a bonus, I could backup the duplicate instead of the master, so that won't 
affect the routine traffic either.
