[ale] Opinions for a two node Active-Passive/Failover System.

Opinions for a two node Active-Passive/Fail-over System.
 
Preferences: 
1. I?d like to use a dedicated NIC with cross-over cable for the heartbeat 
messages.
2. I?d like the ability to power fence (STONITH) using IPMI enabled motherboards 
over ethernet.
 
 
Have been looking at Redhat Cluster Suite.
I understand that a lot of people define a cluster to be a system of 3 or more 
nodes and no less.
RHCS does appear well tested, but appears not to be able to do preference #1.
 
Have been looking at Heart-beat with Pacemaker.
Looks to be what I want so far.
 
 
What are others using?
