Abstract
System and method for the dynamic configuration of replicated database servers. Embodiments may provide a mechanism to dynamically and automatically replace lost server nodes with a pool node to maintain a necessary or desired level of replication. Some embodiments may provide a mechanism or mechanisms to dynamically and automatically increase the number of server nodes to meet an increase in demand, and to dynamically and automatically decrease the number of server nodes during periods of decreased demand. To maintain consistency among the database replicas, some embodiments may provide a mechanism or mechanisms for synchronizing the database replicas on the server nodes. In one embodiment, the nodes may be peer nodes in a peer-to-peer network, and the pool nodes may be a peer group.
