	Also, application code will need to be replicated - plus, replication of
	the DB needs to be tested in both directions, after the slave replica is
	promoted to master.

	If we know the application's name, we might be able to come up with some
	useful advice about others who may have done the work before.

	Alternatively, use lxc/linux-vserver or jails as lightweight virtualization
	combined with regular replication of the content from node A to node B (the
	entire machine).

	Cheers,
