I read the mysql book and they said we shouldnt use replication for Read and
Write.
We have to set up a master server, only one for writing, and slaves server
for reading. We dont need to have a permanent connection between master and
slaves, that's fun !
But as far as I understood, we need to lock the master for each new slave,
this could take time with Go of data we have....
