I had a hard time figuring out how to configure Proxmox correctly for something
similar (GlusterFS over vmbr1), basically :

# On the first node
pvecm create My_Cluster -bindnet0_addr 172.16.0.1 -ring0_addr 172.16.0.1

# On the second node
pvecm add -ring0_addr 172.16.0.2 172.16.0.1

# On the third node
pvecm add -ring0_addr 172.16.0.3 172.16.0.1

And so on.
That way Proxmox (corosync) will use the same interface as Ceph, and will 
self-fence
when that isn't available. Just don't use any other rings as that would enable 
Proxmox
to stay up even when Ceph is down, which is bad (unless you have a way to tell 
Ceph how
to use the other interfaces, but I guess you wouldn't be asking this if you 
did).

It's been working fine for us for a year now, on a very very unstable network 
using
the default self-fencing. Quite happy with it.
