I have to say, if it takes "less than a week" to set up a cluster when 
you already know how to do it... I suspect it'll take me "less than a 
week" to have a working clone of heartbeat v1 -- and that's without 
doing any programming. I mean, how hard can it be to have set up mon to 
ping the other node and fire up a few scripts when it stops responding.

Let's face it: a 2-node active/passive cluster on xover (or serial) 
cable can only really guard against hardware failure. In which case 99% 
of the time you don't need to care about split brain and everything that 
comes with that.
