	You don't do that on one machine.  I wouldn't do that on fewer
than about five machines for redundancy and load balancing.  Replication
is keen.

	BTW, I noticed there are some patches that allow multiple masters
with cross replication.  Are these types of things going to be standard?
Else, would it be possible to refer a client trying to modify to the
master server?

	Also, if anyone's interested, I've done a little bit of work on a
replication auditor that will verify all of the entries on slaves should
be there, are there, and are the same.  It'll also fix entries that are
not if you ask it to.  If there's interest, I'll try to make it usable by
other people.
