Hi all,

While additional slave servers would be nice, they wouldn't help the
problem that happened yesterday.  The problem that happened
yesterday looked, at least from the outside, like the failure of a
sigle component that took everything with it.

What is needed to avoid this is a multi-master set up.  It's a little
trickier to build, but it isn't that hard.  Would it be possible to
do that?
