The domain contains only one node, so any services set to use either domain will only run on that given node. This is useful the cluster to starting local service (ie: clvmd, gfs2, etc). To get an ordered domain, define both nodes within a given domain, set 'ordered="1"' and then set different 'priority="<int>"'. The node with the lower priority will be the "preferred node" and the other will be the fall-back. Pay attention to the "nofailback" option as well.
