Setting up a MySQL Cluster

[martinof]

Hello,

I manage several websites using PHP/MySQL. Right now, I use 4 servers :
- 1 firewall / load balancing server (with LVS)
- 1 MySQL / Apache / file server
- 2 Apache (they use NFS to access the files stored on the MySQL computer)

The MySQL server is clearly becoming a weak point of my architecture, because of the critical role it plays (file server and the only database server). I'd like to setup a cluster with 2 servers (that would be enough for the moment) but do you know if I can use the LVS server as the management server for the MySQL cluster or if I need to absolutely use a separate computer ?

Thanks
