It looks like with modern linux kernels you don't have to
re-bind()/listen() anymore when an IP address is added. So you can start
services bound to '*' from init and have pacemaker only manage the
shared ip address.

But yes, with active/passive DRBD you need something to control DRBD and
mount DRBD FS and then start services that depend on DRBD FS.

Active-active should let you have your filesystem mounted on both nodes
at once and have things running from init. I never tried it myself so I
don't know which of them would be "less complicated".
