A cluster is very reliable as nodes (slaves) can be added and removed for individual admin needs, keeping 'the beast' HA. You can even put part of your cluster (for redundancy and peak loading) partially on a remote DatatCenter like 'rackspace'; should the HA requirements be such to justify the extra expense. Or a smaller vendor on another network; reciprocity style. I hope to have mine up by Christmas. > > OK, that makes sense.

Here is something that many are playing with:: https://github.com/mesosphere/mesos-dns/blob/master/README.md Many are posting about the wonderfulness and stability of web services even on a smaller cluster. ymmv. hth, James
