Watchdog fencing is not ideal. If you're running a critical enough
environment, consider using IPMI or other "real" fencing methods.
Personally, we use (and recommend) IPMI as a primary fence method with a
pair of switched PDUs as a backup fence method. This provides full
coverage and is generally a lot faster.
