Re: Howto Nova setup with HA?
Jay,
Thanks, Ill be looking forward to it.
Please let me point you to this article about why I would like to raise this question on whether it would be possible to make Nova more flexible on accepting multiple MySQL connection points. I mean, why would you add another layer of difficulty if it is not needed?

I will as soon as I verify with Nati that all the most-current code has
been pushed there :) Expect an email later today.

Yep, this is a perfectly good solution for MySQL.

I would strongly resist pressure to add complexity to the Nova (or other
core projects) code base when an existing solution is available that is
tailored to meet the need already (install a loadbalancer...)
