Hi Peter We use the mysql replication stuff here. Its very reliable, and the synchronization between master & slave is pretty much instant.
There does seem to be one problem when the master rotates its transaction logs, the slave does not pick it up and you need to manually issue "reset slave" to get it to go to the start of the first transaction log Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter M.
