Then you should be able to cluster as I described, and deal with load balancing/failover of the DB box separately. The key thing to remember is that if two boxes have both mounted the same block device, they *must not* both try to write to it. If your web servers are both writing to a remote DB, then you've solved that problem quite handily. If you can mount /web (or whatever) read-only, then you can cluster without a problem.
