Hello.
Replication shouldn't die if one of the participants goes offline.
But unclean shutdowns of the master may cause inconsistencies between the
content of tables and the binary log in master; this can be avoided by
using InnoDB tables and the --innodb-safe-binlog option on the master.
See Replication for part of the manual for more advices and switch to the
latest release if you haven't it yet.
