You can load balance a Web server / mysql using Redhat cluster server suite which is not a free product. It supports IP Load Balancing to Load balance incoming IP network requests across a farm of servers as well as Application/Service Failover. More info @ http://www.redhat.com/software/rha/cluster/

Other options

=> Load balance a web server using LVS - free and very good to build cluster using commodity computers @ www.linuxvirtualserver.org

=> Load balance a MySQL server using MySQL cluster - It supports couple of different ways to increase database availability and scalability. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/...er-basics.html

=> Sync webservers using a rsync or other tools

Let me know if you need any more help!
