I suppose I consider a cluster to be something that shares work via a single point of access, not just something that shares data. I think of "clustered sessions" as "shares sessions" within a cluster, where the cluster handles work as a whole. Having different clients connect specifically to one node in a "cluster" is merely using shared sessions to me. That would kind of be like calling several servers using the same database a "cluster" because they share data. | Certainly for any practical usage, a front end of some sort is | required to automatically route requests, but it doesn't have to | actually do any load balancing.
