I'm still thinking all this over... The 2 real servers are
actually located in 2 different ISPs that's also why I'm using lvs-tun. If
I used an external MySQL server only, the queries and updates would take
long (it's also because of security that they're running in localhost).
And I really didn't do the mysql stuff so i had to study and understand
mysql too. I can't say anything about performance but we're using P4 2.0G
with 512 MB, IDE based. Thanks for the ideas.
