Thanks for your response Adam! 

Do you know if there is any way MySQL can be spread across multiple
machines? I am looking at a huge application for a client, that will
need to support thousands of simultaneous users. I am wondering if MySQL
can handle load like that. That's why I was asking about clustering
MySQL servers for the ability to handle more users simultaneously.

Has anyone had any experience with a large scale application on MySQL?

Yes,it's called Replication in the MySQL documentation. However, since
the info in the manual is kind of sparse so I would hop on google and do
a search for specific instructions on how to do it when your ready, but
to answer your question, yes, MySQL does do Redundancy/Failover.
(Ofcourse you must take account of this in your code interacting with
the server, but the data will be sync'd).
