Google for "mysql replication" or "mysql master slave". If that functionality is not sufficient then code your own database abstraction layer in PHP so that each query which is not a SELECT statement is mirrored on a separate connection to the 2nd server.

If you want to insert data into 2 tables in the same database, then use UNION. If you have 2 databases, but same table name, 1) make sure you have the same fields, 2) use 2 connections for each database.
