Fault tolerance. However the technical info on the clustering says the nodes 
keep all the db data in memory. The database will grow to many GB so the 
cluster is no good for us. We can use the single master-to-multi slave 
replication instead and add some code to the clients so they try other db 
nodes if their usual db node isn't working.
