> Has anyone here implemented any clusters?
I've only set one up, but I maintain the ones that my predecessors
set up. It's not rocket science.

Not really. Every distro has heartbeat/DRBD/LVS available.
> Any pointers regarding clustering you'd like to share?
Define the problem you're trying to solve more rigorously than just
"clustering" first. Do you want flailover between 2 boxes? Do you
want a frontend box with N service-providing boxes behind it? The
answers to that greatly affect what you will end up doing, as does
the question "What services is this cluster going to provide?"
Basically, all I can do is handwave without answers to "what services?"
and "how many machines?".
