I currently have a Linode 1 Gig based at the Atlanta Linode location. I have people visiting my website from all around the world, but the most users are in the USA and UK. With a loadbalancer can I have a Linode in Atlanta and one in the UK?

If I can how is the best way to have MySQL setup? Separate MySQL server?

Short answer: No. The NodeBalancer and backends must be in the same facility.

Long answer: A NodeBalancer in facility A and a backend in facility B would cause incoming requests to go to A, then B, then the response would come from B back to A, and then from A back to the client's browser (or whatever). Very suboptimal.
