Hi:
I want to send writes to the master and reads to the slaves.
Currently I'm using "balance" to send all queries to a pair of servers set up in a
circular master/slave/master/etc relationship. This generally works, but ... not always
perfectly. So I want to change it to a straight master/slave relationship with the
possibility of adding more slaves to the same master later.
I don't have the authority, prerogative, right, power, or any other god-like
characteristic, necessary to change the application. So, I was hoping there was some
proxy (something well beyond "balance") I could stick between the application and the
MySQL servers to direct writes to one server and reads to the rest.
I took a look at mysql-proxy, and it looks kinda complicated. And I'm not sure it will
actually do what I need.
So, is there any help out there?
