I gave those numbers a cursory glance, assumed you'd got it right and
then forgot about it :-)

Can you check the posible data corruption problem sometime. Like connect
directly from a client box to 2 realservers and write to one mysqld and
check if the other mysqld can see the write (I have no idea what to look
for actually - this is just a test off the top of my head. It would be
nice to simulate the LVS:mysqld setup first to give us some confidence).

There's a test suite taht comes with mysql. I guess you could run that on
an LVS. If there's a potential data corruption problem we'd likely see it
there (unless the mysql client opens a persistant connection).

it might be like DNS where requests shorter than 512bytes are sent by udp
and larger ones are sent by tcp (I think).
