I've been thinking about Steven Dake's idea most of today and I really
like it. It's clean, doesn't interfere with corosync internals and will
be easier to implement and maintain. Also it won't break the on-wire
protocol.

The one main drawback I see is that the CPG membership will not include
the satellite nodes (unless the parent joins the CPG once for each
parent, which seems excessive). Looking at the pacemaker code this
doesn't seem to be a problem. We can still send node up/down
notifications if needed, even if a satellite joins the cluster, it would
just show the same list of central nodes each time.

I'm less worried about the performance hit for this sort of
implementation though it does need to be borne in mind. I'll forward an
updated document early next week for perusal if David or Andrew chip in
about Pacemaker requirements above.

thoughts?
