Cool. Is your cluster only a MySQL cluster or is it also an HTTP cluster?

You won't need this if you go with the MySQL Cluster solution. You data nodes will take care themselves of being an exact replica of the other nodes.

Are you look forward to build two separate clusters or one server running multiple-services?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think heartbeat can't balance the load between your nodes. But I heard it works great for high-availability purposes. For your high-availability and high-performance need, I would suggest you try something with PF and CARP. This is what I am currently working on.
