With MySQL replication (unless you move to their cluster product) only one machine is the master at a time. The others are just read slaves. DRBD + MySQL is useful if you want to keep a hotbackup of your master MySQL instance. MySQL replication is handy if you have a lot of read requests (i.e.. PowerDNS using a MySQL backend).
