What's active-active and active-passive cluster? Is there some basic information as to how to setup a cluster out here? If yes, could somebody please share it this? It's my impression that, when you have active-active cluster, you have load-balancing aswell with this option? Is it true? Really appreciated some input on this. many thanks, Cali
