drbd is great if both cluster nodes are in the same data center. Over the 
internet… not so much. The latency will kill your performance. In its 
sanest/safest configuration, the drbd block device won't tell the filesystem 
that a write is done until the data is on-disk on both cluster nodes. So 
latency to the secondary node is a crucial performance bottleneck.

Check it out for your scenario, though. If you have the right pre-requisites, 
drbd is pretty great.
