Ah, thank you for correcting me on this.

I read that HyperDB **support** replication, and assumed that it
**does** replication. My mistake.

Thank you, I'll start working to try this out in our testlab then.

Anyway, I'm seeing more and more of my clients closing to overload
their server. Nice to see that so many people are enjoying success
with help from Wordpress.
