In response to the original question, you are

about

saying they have set up a

cluster with MediaWiki.
Wikimedia have been telling porkies since 2004, then?
I thought Wikimedia uses MySQL replication, not clustering. MySQL
clustering uses main memory to store tables. Somehow I don't think the
Wikimedia servers have that much memory. BTW, MySQL 5.1 will finally
support disk-based clustering. Even then, there is still the issue of
FULLTEXT indexes in cluster mode. Does the cluster storage engine support
FULLTEXT indexes?
