I think I want a hot copy.  For years I've run my custom mailing list
set up on mysql on the local box with apache.  I migrated resently to a
new box and new OS (artix with openrc).  I wrote the new init scripts
but I decided to seperate the mailing list, and the database from the 
webserver.  And I closed down IP coonections, just because I got sick
of the port being hammered.

Now, I had two choices, to change the software to talk across the 
open local area network, and move the database to the webserver...
or hot copy, which I know maria has been able to do for a while, but I
never implimented it.  But i want to do this and restrict connections to
the internal network.  It is easy enough to justblock the external ports
but I would rather do this through the database.
