row-level lock that prevents SELECT?

I apologize if i already posted this. i thought i did, but subsequent search turned up empty... so here goes again....

I have several servers that will be querying a mySQL database looking for rows where column 'status' = 'waiting'.

i would like to be able to make it so that when server 1 queries and finds a row that the row will not be selectable by another server. is this possible?

so...
1-server 1 queries and locks row 1
2-server 2 queries and DOES NOT SELECT row 1, it instead gets row 2 and locks it.
3-server 1 updates status = 'running', and unlocks row 1
4-server 3 queries and gets row 1, but status='running'.


will that work? am i nuts? thanks!
