Yes. It was not working correctly. Actually, we've put huge effort to
make it work (like 1/2 year of work).

Yes

RHEL 6.1 was 1.2.3-36. Next RHEL, so RHEL 6.2, was 1.4.1-4. Keep in mind
that RRP in RHEL 6.2 is TechPreview, so again no support.

There should be no problems BUT you are on your own (what you are
anyway, because EUS for RHEL 6.1 was retired on
May 31, 2013).

I would recommend you (if possible) to really consider updating to
latest RHEL (probably wait for 6.5 where again A HUGE amount of fixes
are available).

Another possibility may be to not use RRP and consider bonding.
