I understand your point and I believe also this to be the case, however 
I've noticed that by specifying symmetric-cluster="false" for each 
resource I need to add 2 location constraints, which overcrowds the 
config, and if I want (and hope) to go to a config with multiple servers 
and resources, each with specific rules, then also adding location 
constraints for each resource is an overhead which I'd rather not 
include, if possible.

Thank you for your reply, I will take it under advisement.

Dan
