Hi Nick, I have already a setup that includes one master and several slaves that are load balanced using Keepalived (http://www.keepalived.org). This has served me very well for a year. What I want now is to have a second master that would take over if the primary master goes down, i.e. reduce the time it would take to have a new master fully operational. Thanks for your input on DRBD anyway. Sam
