Re: CMAN nodes in different LANs

[Terance Dias <terance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried using public IP as well as names like 'ec2-node-1.amazonaws.com' which is resolved to an IP by DNS lookup. In both cases I get the same error I mentioned earlier. 
If I give the internal IP of the node where I'm trying to run the CMAN service, the service starts, but I still cannot get it to resolve the other node since the other node is in a different network.

You do need fencing. Without *working* fencing, the first time something
goes wrong, your cluster will hang (by design).

You need to use names and these names need to resolve to an IP.
Whichever interface that IP matches will be used for cluster
communications. The ideal is to use `uname -n` from each node, though
this is more convention that a requirement.
