MMM is a set of scripts that perform monitoring/failover and management of MySQL master-master replication.  Flipper is also a set of tools that manage which server in a Multi-Master setup is writable and which is readable by moving IP addresses based on the server’s role.  Both look very promising and hopefully soon I’ll have some free time to play around with them.
