Thanks for your suggestion. The reason I use Xen (beyond the huge
convenience) is that I don't have spare hardware to play with.

That's exactly what (I think) I did - just stuck to instructions from
someone who seems to have been in exactly the same position and got it
working.
As for network issues - I see the packets coming and going all right.
But I also see programs just crash and burn - I've just executed
BasicSanityCheck on the primary node which appeared to be working
relatively fine a couple of minutes ago (at least it got more
processes running after three minutes than the other node) and that
failed too with core dumps.

So maybe I should try to get packages from dag, even though there are
ones included in CentOS?
Which exact version of hearbeat are you using right now? From reading
the history of Linux-HA it appears there was a huge change between 1.x
and 2.x
