MySQL readies preview of clustered database

According to this article in macworld, MySql is releasing a preview version of it's clustering DB software at the MySql conference, which is going on right now in Florida. This is great! For years, I've been running web services on distributed hosts where I really needed a clustered MySql DB. The question remaining for me is whether MySql's version of DB clustering can work on high-latency low-bandwidth links. Can I have a clustered database where there are three nodes hanging off DSL lines in three different states? That would be really great.
