[NTLUG:Discuss] website access

[Jack Snodgrass]

I use mysql. I have my mysql tables replicated on different
mysql servers. If one mysql server is down, the .htaccess 
stuff automatically switches to a different server.  I can 
also use my http access stuff to validate pop/imap mail users. 

google for mod_auth_mysql.
