MySQL Split Read/Write for Drupal is a patch for Drupal versions 5 and 6 that allows a Drupal-based Web site to access a multi-server MySQL setup with master/slave replication. This allows Drupal to send all MySQL select (read) queries to the slave nodes, while allowing insert, update, and select (write and read) queries to be pointed at the master node. The code modification allows for an increased 30% improvement under query-based transactions on this platform environment.
