MySQL replication works well, but you might use rsync also. One big
DELETE statement will replicate to the slaves. Using rsync will allow
you
to have another hardcopy somewhere.

Best of both worlds!
I'm using LVS, apache, MySQL and I'm really happy with it.
Especially with web applications.
When changes are needed, I deactivate a real server, make the changes
to the application, use rsync
to copy the application changes to the other real servers, and enable
the server I made changes to.
