MySQL Clustering and Replication

[dwacks@interactcommerce.com]

Hi,

I was wondering if you had set up a MySQL clustering solution. I found the
MySQL Clustering Toolkit: http://prometheus.zerodivide.net/mysql_cluster/
Have any of you used it?
I found a recommended best way for replication is that one server is used
for INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE, while others are used replicated from this
one, and all are used for queries. 
What about service availability and load balancing issues?

I am looking for some input on the best solution to implement this:
Hardware/OS/configuration

We have a layer 4 switch that allows us to load balance among several
servers. I think setting up a master server then several slaves that are
clustered. This allows us to connect via the layer4 IP/Name which would
redirect to one of the slave servers.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
