Funding Cyrus High Availability

[Lee]

I imagine for a big project like this, refunds could be given. I think 
its more a matter of finding someone to deal with this. Id be happy to 
do it, but i think it would be best if Ken or another core developer 
that everyone knows and already trusts is in charge of holding the 
cash. Any Ideas Ken?

I would bet that if a "Fund Cyrus Replication" link were made 
prominently on the cyrus homepage, 3-5k could be raised in less than a 
month.

P.S. Ken, not sure if this would be easier or more complex, but another 
alternative here might be to write a mysql backend to cyrus, which 
would eliminate the need to worry about redundancy given mysql's 
multimaster functionality (this might also provide better 
searching/sort/access and enormous scaleability to the cyrus backends).
