Well, yes, but if you control the backend you could try to trick ejabberd to serve the same contact list, etc.

It depends on what you want to do. For example, if this is mostly groupchat, it may not matter.

thanks, it helps

thanks, it helps indeed.
about federation, if the two nodes in federation will have different domains, it means the user will have two JID, right? so it will appear as two different users when he is travelling or in office, and two rosters.
it is not an ideal situation.

Hello,

Here are my comments:

1. federation: Each ejabberd cluster / instance will have its own domain but you should be able to make it work like you want.

2. clustering: Erlang clustering in ejabberd is not intended to work over WAN cluster. You need low latency connection and always on link between the nodes, so it will not work in your case.

I hope this helps,
