The problem is that I don't want to replicate everything.  The way I 
understand it, and correct me if I am wrong b/c I have never set up 
master/slave replication in MySQL, every time there is a 
insert/update/delete to the database, it will replicate to the others 
automatically in real-time.  I don't want this to happen, because I am 
running a script that updates 16 million rows and takes 20 hours to 
complete... replication would affect performance on the live slaves. 
In parallel to this script running I am making live changes to the data 
in my app via a web interface.  These changes (small portion compared to 
the script running) will need to write to all 4 databases at the same 
time.  I am assuming mysql replication is all or none and can't do 
this... meaning replicate some times and not others??
