You're probably going to need some kind of commercial Load Balancing/Clustering solution.

Directadmin does have a Multi-Server setup - but that is only really for DNS.

This post goes into a similar discussion:

http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=118869

and the forums have many more discussions of similar type

use keywoards like: mirroring, replication, load balancing, clustering etc etc

If you're after a simple way to do it - you're probably going to need to look at something like RSYNC (to transfer the files over). For MYSQL, you probably want to look at their replication features.

Also the How-To Guides section is for telling the community how to do something not for asking how to do something. This question should probably be moved to either the General or System-Level Technical Discussion sub forum.

What you are trying to accomplish is not easy to do. A better option would be to upgrade the server itself. Another might be to use a different server for MySQL. But it is nearly impossible to keep files on two different servers in sync 100% of the time. It would be better to separate the functions.

Another option would be to have two servers do the processing and a third be the storage server that serves as a file server. Then all the data stays on one system and the other two do the processing.
