Eric, Quorum server, is a service which is running on a specified port on a given node, and when you configure this on a cluster you just specify the node name and the port on which this service is running. With this type of approach, in my opinion it should be fine to have the quorum server any where on the Intranet (I think best practice would to have it on the same network). With respect to having quorum server on Internet & open sourcing of the same, I would leave to others to comment on it.
