I have to confess I am guilty of commenting about the original question while being ignorant of some of the issues involved. Since I haven't used MySql clustering before, I don't know anything about how it's implemented. I also made an assumption about its use: replication of the database on multiple nodes. There must be some kind of central coordination of access to the mysql cluster, but I doubt it would be so inefficient as to require the entire database to kept in RAM, any more than DRBD is required to keep an entire filesystem in RAM....
