Good try, but no dice, this is a fail-over solution only.  You can
only mount the disk read-write on one of the boxes at a time.

However, there's a link on the page you pointed me at to GFS the
Global File System by Sistina:

http://www.sistina.com/products_gfs.htm

This seems to be similar to Coda but for Linux.  I hate to say this
but it does look like Linux has superior support for clustering.
