No, each sites needs to be a proper cluster (2 nodes minimum). The idea is that, if the link to the building is lost, the cluster at the lost site will shut down. With only one node, a hung node (that might recover<br>
later) could recover and think it could still do things before it realized it shouldn't. Booth is "a cluster of clusters".<br>
<br>
The nodes at each site should be on different hardware, for the same reason. It is very much NOT a waste of resources (and, of course, use proper, tested STONITH/fencing).<br>

Yes, see above.<br>

<br>
DRBD would work, but you have to make a choice; If you run synchronous so that data is never lost (writes are confirmed when they hit both sites), then your disk latency/bandwidth is your network latency/bandwidth. Otherwise, you run asychronous but you'll lose any data that didn't get transmitted before a site is lost.<br>
<br>
As for proxy; Yes, it's a commercial add-on. If protocol A (async) replication can't buffer the data to be transmitted (because the data is changing faster than it can be flushed out), DRBD proxy provides a system to have a MUCH larger send cache. It's specifically designed for long-throw asynchronous replication.<br>

Yes, RAs are fairly simple to write. See:<br>
