Makes sense for a five node cluster as a stonith resource to stonith a node 
should run at least on the other four nodes which - in case - should stonith 
the dead node e.g. : the stonith resource to stonith node1 should run on 
node2/3/4/5

Is that so? I mean ... it always has to be one of the "surviving" nodes that 
shoot the other == dead node in the head ...
