If performance isn't your absolute highest priority and you can easily fail IPs between hosts with ARP packets, I'd check out an RDBMS warm slave setup using Pacemaker and DRBD. Pacemaker+Heartbeat works stupid-well for MySQL & haproxy failover on Linode. DRBD supports synchronous replication and has all kinds of tuning options to get it perfect for any environmental craziness.
