I think we're really talking about a network load balancing cluster as
opposed to a beowulf type Linux cluster. The latter shares processor
resources across multiple boxes.

There's a whole lot of ways to do the former. Dustin identified LVS
(Linux Virtual Services) which might be an appropriate topic for a
presentation. I imagine you could simulate the scenario on a private
network. In the "real world" you'll need a public IP pool and a DNS
domain.
