I haven't tried this; I assume /etc/ha.d/resources.d/drbddisk is a
script, right?  If so...

  <service name="foo" ...>
    <script name="drbd" file="/etc/ha.d/resources.d/drbddisk">
      <script name="httpd" file="/etc/init.d/httpd"/>
    </script>
  </service>

This is basically a parent/child dependency: "drbd" will be started
before "httpd", and stopped after httpd has been stopped.

It might be possible to grab linux-ha's drbd resource and use it almost
out of the box with RHCS, but I haven't tried this either.  Either way,
rgmanager should probably have a DRBD resource agent at some point.
