My setup if fairly minimal but we have a need/demand to make it "Highly Available" meaning I need to have another site running the same wiki. My _idea_ was to use MySQL proxy to split read and writes between the nodes but doing some more reading the wgDBservers appears to be the proper option.
My current understanding would be configure the wgDBservers and just weight the local instance as its read slave and write to my master as it will be the first entry. The master would then replicate all writes back out to the slaves. Is this a fairly correct understanding? Thanks.
