As I wrote before: (and I have "fixed" my copy&paste error above to use 
consistent resource names now)

1. I want to run all required services on all running nodes at all times.

2. I want two service IPs mail1-ip (ip1) and mail2-ip (ip2) running on 
the cluster but only on nodes where all required services are already 
running (and not just starting)

3. Both IPs should be running on two different nodes if possible.

4. Preferably mail1-ip should be on node ha1 if ha1 is running with all 
required services.

5. Preferably mail2-ip should be on node ha2 if ha1 is running with all 
required services.

So most importantly: I want ip resources mail1-ip and mail2-ip only be 
active on nodes which are already running all services. They should only 
be moved to nodes on which all services are already running.

Thanks,

Gerald
