load balanced configuration

[Bryan O'Neal]

Personally I vote for RRDNS so that your domain name has multiple IP's
associated with it. DynDNS polls every few minuets for availability
and will automatically remove dead servers. That is what clustering is
all about :)

Also I forgot to respond regarding the mysqldump -if your db cannot be
offline use Amanda and a MySql agent.
