As Ian mentioned, drbd can be used for this.  The guys from Q
Linux I believe have already used drbd as a mirroring solution in
one of their projects.

drbd does not actually mirror your database, but the filesystem
itself.  For example, all writes on a drbd block device on an
active server is mirrored simultaneously on a standby server.
Couple this with linux-ha/heartbeat and you have a low-cost
high-availability solution.

Since this is on a block device level, you can therefore use any
database or any application to utilize this mirror.  

Hope this helps.
