cman is pretty important.  If it's on a public subnet, someone could
spoof IPs and screw with your locks, spew garbage (e.g. floodping) on
the wire and lots of other nefarious things.  I'd keep it private.

If possible, I'd tend to keep it on its own VLAN as well.  You really
only want cluster-centric traffic on those wires.
