Yeah I don't think it will work. There's nothing to stop the
servers clobbering each other's updates.

Don't use MySQL's built in replication, build your own using something
like Spread (there's a replication implementation for PostgreSQL that
uses this). Think of it as RAID-1 with two MySQL servers :)  It's not a
small task though!
