Hi Dave, on Zen v1rc3 the philosophy  of cluster is the next:

Zen1:
ehA: for webgui + cluster
ethb: ip configured + farms (UP)
ethc: ip configred + farms (UP)

Zen2:
ethA: for webgui + cluster
ethb: the same configuration of ip and farms that ethb(zen1) but DOWN
ethc: the same configuration of ip and farms that ethc(zen1) but DOWN

When a problem is detected on LinuxHA between ethA(zen1) and
ethA(zen2) the cluster switch the service, and the configuration on
zen2 for ethb and ethc is up and ethb and ethc on zen1 will be  down.

While the cluster is configured, you can configure farms, interfaces
but always on zen active node, because the configuration will be
replicated to backup node (on this example, Zen2)

With this configuration ethA on zen1 and ethA on zen2 connec to a
swithch (no cross over cable)

On the next configuration Zenv1rc4(is  comming soon) the cluster type
configuration going to change, you can select the last configuration,
the same interface for webgui and cluster, or create a new
configuration, Stefano Chiesa proposed this configuration, and
detected bugs on v1rc3 cluster working

Zen1
ethA: web gui (this configuration isn't going to be replicated)
ethB: cluster configuration (conected with zen2-ethB with cross over
cable) (this configuration isn't going to be replicated)
ethc: ip configured and farms UP

Zen2
ethA: web gui (this configuration isn't going to be replicated)
ethB: cluster configuration (conected with zen2-ethB with cross over)
(this configuration isn't going to be replicated)
ethc: ip configured and farms but down,( waiting a cluster switching)


Following your example. If you use interfaces for configure farms
(interfaces with no web webgui and no ip cluster) Eth1, is needed that
you configure NOTHING on zen2 (if cluster works) because cluster going
to replicate all the information that you created on interfaces with
farms, will be replicated networking configuration and farms.

Now a bug is detected on v1rc3 with cluster configuration steps, this
problem going to be solved on v1rc4, adding other type of
configuration for cluster:
*webgui+cluste  on the same eth(this connect directly to a switch)
*webgui on one interface and cluster on other diferent interface (with
this, the cluster going to communicate with other node with a private
network with a cross over cable)

Tell me if your doubts are solved
