They have some interesting setup, but that notwithstanding: if split 
brain happens some clients will connect to "old master" and some: to 
"new master", dep. on arp update. If there's a shared resource 
unavailable on one node, clients going there will error out. The other 
ones will not. It will work for some clients.

Cf. both nodes going into stonith deathmatch and killing each other: the 
service now is not available for all clients. What I don't get is the 
blanket assertion that this "more highly" available that option #1.
