[consulting] Distributed Loads, Failover and Dynamic Content

Here is the setup we currently use at StandardInteractive:
- linux virtual server
- multiple apache servers each with a local mysql server
- one of the servers is used for editing/updates
- rsync for the filesystem
- mysql replication from the master/editing server

As long as you can constrain your users to making updates
on the master server in the lvs cluster, you'll be ok.

The next step of this is to allow users to log in and
submit content from any server by switching the db
connection inside db_query (becoming INSERT/UPDATE
aware essentially as Kieran mentioned).
