DBD::Multiplex
l DBD::Multiplex - new and experimental
l Connects to multiple databases at once (via DBI)
l Executes statements on all of them by default
l Could be configured to:
n insert into all databases but select from one
n fallback to alternate database if primary is unavailable
n select from all and check results (pick most common)
n select round-robin / or at random to distribute load
l Can be used with DBD::Proxy, either above or below
l May also acquire fancy caching in later versions
l Watch this space!
