Testing MySQL Clustering

At work we're setting up a pool of LAMP servers and they will need some persistent storage. We're using MySQL in house for our other relational needs so I'm having a go at getting a 2-node high-availability/shared nothing/load balanced database cluster working.

I can't access the actual hardware yet, so I'm playing in a couple of virtual machines. The first step is to get them installed and stick MySQL on there. The LAMP servers are all using FC6 (for better or worse - maybe CentOS would have been better) so I'll use that. First step, getting the first node working so I can clone it and try out replication.
