I also wrote a MiniHowto and some other docs (have a look at www.open-sharedroot.org) to give assistance. As Mike Hagmann already stated it is not a trivial task to build up such a cluster (as it's not a trivialtask to build up any type of productive clusters, but isn't that a reason why we are doing all that ;-) ) but the MiniHowto should help you on the one hand and on the other hand you can get more help from open-sharedroot or us at ATIX (www.atix.de). If you like. Feel free to ask.
