In theory you should be able to configure jackrabbit file in repo-conf to 
access cluster over RMI. You might run in some issues when trying to initialize 
Magnolia tho. JCR-1.0 didn't deal with repo creation and node types 
registration so Magnolia tries to create own workspaces and register own node 
types by tapping directly on JackRabbit API and files ... that might be bit 
problematic in case of RMI access. You might be able to workaround by 
installing locally and then accessing over RMI.

It depends on why you want to cluster.

Are you sure you have multiple Magnolia instances using same repository? I 
found that unlikely. What I see as more common scenario is having multiple 
instances having each their own repo in same database.

Magnolia instances are normally configured to use separate repository per 
instance so you don't need to scale up the repository, but instead you can 
scale horizontally by adding extra Magnolia instance to your setup having own 
repo and sharing the load with other instances.
