Thanks for the thought. I like the fencing idea and no matter what choice I use
I am pretty sure that's the route I will go. I do however want at least one failover
possible, as I will likely be able to resolve the issue immediately after the first
and if one node goes down, allowing it failover back and forth isn't logical.

I'll keep this in mind while I read away.

Thanks,
