I would be interested especially in different approaches to implementing failover. Are there any frameworks that can provide this transparently to the application? For storage, I know there is MySQL cluster, but it requires using tables w/the cluster engine, which is not the same as Innodb--where all the goody features are. So, it has to either be done in the application layer at the dispatch, or underneath via the network infrastructure (tricks with dns, routing tables, whatever). -- Respectfully, Nicholas Leippe Sales Team Automation, LLC 1335 West 1650 North, Suite C Springville, UT 84663 +1 801.853.4090 http://www.salesteamautomation.com .-----------------------------------. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `-----------------------------------'
