cluster

[z l <z_ling11@yahoo.com>]

first i want to know if this list is active or not.

if yes then please help answer some basic questions.

HA module or load balancing solutions can also be
called as cluster ? 
what exactly does a cluster denote. because i have
implemented HA solutions like two servers, one being
the hot standby for the other. can we call this a
cluster ?

can someone give various configurations of clusters
and clustering that is being done today ? i know of
fileservers, web servers and firewalls in HA or
loadbalancing mode. would that suffice to be called as
cluster ??
