I don't have stonith, in fact I don't even have redundant paths (geographically 
apart nodes). So a custom plugin is the only way? I will look into "meatware" 
stonith anyway.
Thanks,

This may not be the most elegant solution, but you could do this with
the "meatware" stonith device which does exactly this; someone has to
manually confirm that the other machine is really and truly dead before
a failover will happen.

This would be easy to set up if you are already using stonith, and a
non-trivial learning curve otherwise.
