I don't have time to point you to the url, I searched metacrawler for mySQL replication and in one of the references it stated that you could not cross platform replicate as the *.myd and *.myi files were not binary compatible and that you had to use an sqldump command scenario to transport the data between such dis-similar servers. Sorry if the acronyms and command references are not accurate as I am justifying from memory. I am totally ignorant of mySQL and just parroted what I had read regarding the subject. Give the heterogeneous mix of hardware and unices it would have to be very flexible in its data transport, but I certainly don't want to discourage anyone from using as a solution for this. The replication has some elegant features to accommodate periodic syncs as from a dial-up or an cron command.
