It's been ~2 years since I looked at MySQL High Availability in depth. O'Reilly "High Performance MySQL" has a chapter or three covering it and alternatives. An excellent book.

At the time we settled on MySQL replication. Having local and off-site "hot spares" on standby was close enough to high availability for our purposes. IIRC HA is memory resident, so your database size was restricted. For some applications that's not a problem, but it made me nervous for what we were doing at the time.
