I guess it will use the interface with the right IP to
reach the nodes ;-) or the one used to reach the
default router if the nodes are outside any of its
local networks
I guess, in your configuration, if the nodes names are
bounding to IP 192.168.100.x (through DNS or
/etc/hosts) then cluster applications will use eth0
for its traffic
am I wrong?

If that's true then I think we need to specify only the monitoring IPs in the cluster configuration along with the host names. What happens to the other set of static IP addresses which belong to the interfaces on the LAN subnet ? Do they get used anywhere in the configuration ? Any ideas ?
