I have a high traffic server and need to branch out to multiple
servers to handle the load.
I know there are hardware and software solutions for this.
I would like an overview with positives and negatives of all the popular solutions.

My main concern:
The website has a very active mysql database that is updated by the
end users almost every second of the day.

I need to figure out how to setup multiple servers and handle these
constant database updates.

I don't see how I could have multiple servers and still keep the
integrity of the database updates between the servers (obviously there
is a way to do this, just don't know how).

I would like someone to privide me as many details about server
networks and how to handle active databases over these networks.

Thanks!

The feature you are looking for is called 'replication'. I do not
personally use MySQL so I can't help you. It may be built in, or it
may be a package available from sourceforge or some other website.

HTH,
