Hi, clustering and replication are indeed two (very) separate things - and you won't get a Cluster by setting up replication. Again: treat the two as separate. Clustering turns several shards (on several nodes) into one database (from an user/caller perspective) while replication happens _between_ databases. Consequently, technical underpinnings differ as well, as Bob explained below.
Hope that gets things in perspective a little...
