I read the possibility to use drbd with external locking for mysql on the
web but I doubted it. I thought that these people have more experience than
me but now I know that my suspects were true!

I used NDB many years ago. But, if I remember well, it requires another
server to manage the cluster, but I forgot totally what is the way to
configure it.
