Cristian, the only way I know of clustering MySQL in this fashion is
to use mysql cluster. AFAIK, you can't just run two daemons against
the same data files and expect a "cluster" to materialize.

Using the information above I was able to build a two node cluster for
testing purposes, so I can attest that this solution works. Of course
cluster has it's drawbacks, but MySQL has many options for scaling:
replication, circular replication, partitioning, etc with with
strengths/weaknesses.
