Load balancing: This is a new one to me. Excellent! I had wondered about how to do some kind of two-machine load-balancing and eventually, failover. Still finding it tricky to wrap my head around how I'll keep my DB consistent between the two systems, etc, but so far I'm nowhere near the size where this is needed from a performance perspective. This is about redundancy only, so far.
