Rahul,
An OSCAR cluster can’t really help with this. An OSCAR cluster is a classic “Beowulf” or “HPC” cluster; used to provide increased computing power either in throughput mode, e.g., by devoting a compute node to each job, or parallel mode by running MPI or PVM jobs on multiple compute nodes.
At first thought, the latter might appear to be what you want, but, the key to running a single job on multiple machines is to have an application that has been written to run using MPI, PVM, or some other parallel communications library. Not every program can run using MPI or PVM; even less can run well. There are alternatives besides MPI or PVM, but that’s what OSCAR supports. If MySQL provides a “clustered” mode, then it will probably work on an OSCAR cluster, but you also need other bits specific to MySQL.
For httpd, there are specific alternatives, such as LVS, which allow multiple independent servers to process a single stream of httpd requests. The simple explanation is that each of your N httpd servers only processes 1/N of the httpd requests. This is a common way to increase the power of a website, but can get more complicated as the website becomes more complex.
