Hello to everyone,

I am quite new in Proxmox and clustering and I need some information about it's cluster functionality.
So I have Linux router which can also do load balancing. My aim is to have 4 servers and put one OpenVZ machine on each on them.
Then all VM will sync. My questions:
1. Can I achieve that all VM will be sync periodically, and I can use loadbalancing from my router to 4 IP addresses. I mean if one machine is very busy request is handled by another one? What is the minimal sync period between them?
2. If one of my machine die, will other will handle requests and service won't be interrupted? As I understood, master server is critical, but in 2.0 version it does not matter because of multi-master.
3. Can I put on this cluster apache, mysql, postfix, php, dns? Actualy I worie about MySQL, do databases won't be damaged in cluster operations because we taking not about MySQL cluster but all OS clustering.
4. Is there any people using such or similar cluster in business critical environment with proxmox? Could you share your pros and coins?

Thank you for your time.
