I'm not sure if someone's responded to this yet or not, so sorry if this
is redundant ;)
Newer mogilefs has the code in place to use "read only" slaves for its
trackers. It might not be tested very well, but you can give it a shot.
Most of us cache heavily on top of mogilefs, so it rarely gets SELECT's
anyway. Maybe focus some more there first?
