If you are looking for a "load balancing" cluster, then you may probably
use any appliance that round robin across all your servers. You may also
use software, instead of the appliance, like 'linux virtual server'.

If you are talking about high availability, just create a virtual IP and
make it switch from one machine to the second one when the first
crashes. On GNU/Linux, 'heartbeat' is a good tool for such
configuration.
