You rarely need mysql replication (running more than one mysql server running the same database information) and you rarely need more than one server to handle traffic. If you expect an extreme amount of traffic 3 servers is max what you will usually need. 1.0 million uniques, each hit running cgi + graphics + sql we have setup on 3 servers, 1 for cgi/www, 1 for gfx, 1 for sql.

You can probably get by with one suitably powerful machine that is properly tuned, or maybe two, one for sql, one for web. Hit me up on icq 36837470 if you want some help tuning, I can also give you a few quotes on our services, I think we will come very close to what you are paying for unmanaged services, except you wont have the headache of trying to set this up yourself.
