Benjamin, I just checked with the Geographic Edition engineering team and what the Sun reseller told you is correct. At this time, you cannot have clusters of different platforms (sparc vs x86) in the same Geographic Edition partnership. The clusters must be all sparc or all x86. Unfortunately, this requirement is missing from the Geographic Edition documentation, but a statement will be added to the documentation for the next release.
