No. Usually your database will not support being distributed over multiple
nodes. If it does (Oracle Parallel Server etc), you can run a LVS setup in
front of the database server (and behind the application servers), but this is
quite expensive.
I would recommend using a HA setup (FailSafe, heartbeat, Kimberlite etc) for
your database server to make it highly available.

No.

This list and http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ should have some.
