Remember that there is a trick where you dump the user-databases with
the binlog enabled (and noting its position), leaving the database
writable. You then transfer and import the dump. Finally you make it
readonly, copy the changes from the binlog (which will be much smaller
and thus results in a shorter read-only interval) and point the dns to
the other server.
