When you say "two lans" do you mean two different IP Subnets (eth
192.168.1.0/24 and 172.16.1.0/24) or do you mean two layer-2 switches?
I don't believe DRBD can use to different subnets at the same time,
although there's nothing stopping each node from being on a different
subnet.
What you can do is use the bonding driver to make N physical interfaces
appear to the system as one interface. The assumption here is that each
physical interface on machine A can talk to each interface on machine B.
E.G:
Node A eth0 - Switch 1 - Node B eth0
|| ||
Node A eth1 - Switch 2 - Node B eth1
With two switches, you'd connect the eth0 interfaces to one switch, eth1
to the other and then connect both switches together (with an
etherchannl trunk probably).
You'd then configure eth0/1 on each machine to be in a bonded interface
(bond0) which you then assign the IP address to that you'll use for DRBD
replication.
Hope this helps!
Mark.
