A colleague and I are having a discussion about the best way to handle high traffic sites. For example, take a social networking site with 1 million users.

I think it would be better to have multiple web servers with multiple database servers in a master/slave scenario with replication.

My colleague supports the idea of clustering, with MySQL running on the same box as the web server.

From a MySQL standpoint, are there any best practices for building high traffic sites with a MySQL back end? Neither my colleague nor I are DBA's, nor are we sys admin experts.

Any thoughts are most welcome.
