A Beowulf is not an HA cluster. It is a compute cluster. The nodes of a
Beowulf are used in combination to build massively parallel processors
for tackling computationaly intense problems. They are not built to
provide HA for web services and such.

HA on linux is still greatly "in the works". Buy a Sun cluster.
