Powerpoint on Database Load Balancing for Flickr

I posted this in reference to a question about load balancing database servers. It’s a PowerPoint given at a PHP conference in ’05 given by John Allspaw of Flickr. It’s quite a good read, and talks about challenges that they faced when massively scaling an appliance load balancing solution for MySQL.

I may even use your question as a post so that it may help others (anonymous, if you so choose).
