what advantages , disadvantages master/slave type mysql architectures vs load balancing web servers read db's in each using separate server holding mysql database writes?

master/slave type architecture useful when application "read heavy", majority of connections database reading data opposed writing data.

master/slave allows scale out application adding more hardware. create copy of database on new box , add slave master.

with regards

load balancing web servers read db's in each using separate server holding mysql database writes?

this sounds master/slave type architecture. master/slave want slaves read only, master place data changes (and changes propagate slaves).
