Cluster Client is for communication between two different clusters. You can put the frontend nodes in one cluster and backend nodes in one cluster and use Cluster Client from frontend to backend. However, it's easier and the tooling is richer if you use one cluster with different backend/frontend node roles <http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.4.0/scala/cluster-usage.html#Node_Roles>. Then you would use Cluster Sharding Proxy on the frontend nodes.
