If by "clustered" you mean what most products call "cluster", you cannot apply that concept to MySQL: The MySQL Cluster product is an in-memory database keeping the data mirrored in the RAM (!) of (at least) two machines. It is especially designed for extremely fast response times, typical customers include some telecommunication providers. Even though AFAIK you can run MySQL Cluster on just two nodes, I think it would be a very untypical setup, and very likely your client's application is not what MySQL Cluster was designed for. > > 2.

MySQL Cluster is a separate product, AFAIK it is not covered by any support contract for the general server but needs one of its own. > > > I would really appreciate any suggestions here, I am busy trying to > get the info from the net as well but I am pressured for responses. If your client runs a typical database application, I suspect the replication feature is much more appropriate for them.
