You could do a master/slave setup for MySQL.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/replication.html
All you had to worry about is redirecting all write requests to the master database. Either you have to program it into EQEmu itself or find/code a mysql proxy listener that knows which databases to send read and write requests to.
It must be determined how much bandwith such a setup requires on the uplink. Imagine some big come together event on a zoneserver that is on a remote location from the MySQL master database. But I have no idea how much updates per second per player must be written in the database on average and peak.
