No. Mr. Shaw's explanation was a little over simplified. There is one
master computer and many slave computers that do lots of numbercrunching
in parralell. I can't imagine why you would need a web server with quasi
supercomputer performance. Anyway what are you going to do if the master
computer fails?
BTW
There are ways in order to gain redundancy for what you are trying to do.
One simple way would be to use roundrobin dns.
