We have a very similar setup there. He have MySQL installed on each 
radiator server. We have each radiator installation use the local MySQL 
database as primary and the MySQL database on the other host as the 
secondary. The two MySQL databases are replicated in a 
master/slave-slave/master configuration to keep them consistent. This 
allows each radiator server to use a local session database and also 
provides for fail over should one of the databases have a problem, (without 
having any problems with the session database tables getting out of sync). 
This system has been up and running for a number of months now without a 
problem. Setting up the two-way replication was a little tricky, but not 
too bad. The MySQL documentation (excellent) has a section on replication 
that gives examples of master-slave configuration, but no examples of 
two-way replication. I have mysql.cf files as examples it they would be of 
any help.
