I'd definitely have to agree with you on that. I guess I'm trying to decide
what differentiates clustering for load balancing from query broadcast based
on your text. Maybe just don't use the word broadcast here:
"In clustering, each server can accept write requests, and these write
requests are broadcast from the original server to all other servers before
each transaction commits."
Unfortunately, I can't seem to come up with anything more clever.
