Doing clustering this way requires a significant amount of memory (as the
whole DB has to fit in the server's RAM).

The most scalable option for MySQL is replication (
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/replication.html) - I've been using
it for years, I now have 20 servers in a replication string without a
glinch. It's very scalable at the end.
