Basically I'd like to get up to speed really quickly on different clustering technologies, and maybe even set up a CentOS (or Scientific) based cluster in a sandbox to play with.
I guess - looking for reading to get up to speed on clustering, and wondering what my options are with CentOS, RHEL and Scientific.

I suspect this is not of interest to you, but it does fall under "different clustering technologies", if under the High-Availability side of things. You want performance clustering, which generally requires purpose-built solutions (save for simple web/dns/mail load balancers).
Older but complete HA VM clustering on EL5 (inc. CentOS);

More up to date but not yet complete update of the above for EL6 with redundant networking;
