It is perfectly legal to have a circular or ring type of replication. The requirement is that the server-id must be unique on all servers. This way, the originating transaction which gets replicated to other servers, does not end up on the same server where it originated from.

Also, you might want to set up log-slave-updates on each machine. You binary logs would grow larger, but you might find it useful if you hang a slave off one server, and then decide to move it over to another master server.
