Classic scenario where MMM will be your best bet. Check out
http://mysql-mmm.org for more information. Setup two masters and 2 or
more slaves for full High Availability. It scales extremely well if
your application is read-heavy (which most applications are).
If you need help implementing this, I work for OpenQuery and we do
this kind of setup almost on a weekly basis. Check out the website in
the signature and let me/us know if you need our professional help.
Otherwise: feel free to ask questions here :)
kind regards,
