A regrettably complex architecture, compared to the simplicity of clustering. Kind of crazy, actually. Seems perhaps you can run the witness server as a different instance, or at least in a VM, instead of ponying up for a 3rd piece of hardware... ?

Sounds like another reason this is not necessarily implementable in full, depending on your client layout, fixed commercial applications, and so on. BUT overall, we're comparing apples and oranges.
