Our problem is if we would later on want to use live migration, CRM does not 
support dual primary setup for DRBD.

Here the problem is we are using LDAP for Dom0 user authenication too. 
Thus without running domain we would not have LDAP and we would not 
be able to log in. That's why LDAP must be running on both nodes all the time
not only as an HA resource.

It's a bit complicated in the sense of restarting services, but very good 
starting point. Thanks for pointing to this.

Well, CentOS distribution includes 2.3 version, we must keep it.
