I forgot to ask... while I haven't looked, I've never seen anythign on
clustering MySQL. I presume that it can be done since you said that, but has
anyone here actually tried it? Is it better than one huge server?
Our problem is we're dealing with some enourmous tables that our web servers
are accessing. We currently have a PowerEdge 2450, 5disk RAID 5, Dual PIII
850s, 2GB RAM and we are killing it - the load is too much.
That's why our management decided to get a whopping big server - so it can
handle the load.
We're not done growing yet either...
