So as an aside, but related, for those watching this from the peanut gallery= and for the benefit of the OP perhaps those that run with this setup might g= ive some best practices and tips here in this thread on making this a good r= eliable setup. I can see someone reading this thread and tossing two crappy E= thernet cards in a box and then complaining it doesn't work well.=20 Perhaps those doing this could listed recommended NICs so write performance o= f the slave over the network isn't slow as sin, or their relevant part of th= eir config scripts to get this running well, any sysctl's set to boost perfo= rmance, gotcha's you e seen using this setup, and if a mirror failed were yo= u happy with this. India during recovery? Anything that will help current an= d future folks stumbling across this thread I think would be a big help in g= etting this good idea used a little more widely.=20 Chris=
