Re: MySQL Proxy - Load Balancing

Hello,

Currently I am working on a project with 2 DRBD / Heartbeat Masters, and
three read-only replication slaves. I was thinking that throwing MySQL
Proxy / Load Balancer in front of this set up. I was wondering how
people are doing this, and how well it scales, as eventually I plan to
add many more read slaves.

presently, we use mysql-proxy 0.6.1 to direct all queries to localhost
to a powerful mysql server - no read slaves here.

however, we use pacemaker & drbd to manage the mysql-server as well as
the mysql-proxy instances.

what i noticed is, that if we use "SET NAMES UTF8" and execute 100+
queries, the collation might get lost. i suspect this is related to
the connection pooling but had no time to try mysql-proxy 0.7 to
see if this issue is gone.

cheers,
raoul
