direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

You might want to have a look at the CentOS RPMs for Heartbeat and
DRBD in the Extras repository. These are build against CentOS 4 which
is a rebuild of RHEL4.

http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.centos.org/4/extras/i386/RPMS/

drbd-0.7.14-1.centos4.i386.rpm
heartbeat-1.2.3.cvs.20050927-1.centos4.i386.rpm
heartbeat-ldirectord-1.2.3.cvs.20050927-1.centos4.i386.rpm
heartbeat-pils-1.2.3.cvs.20050927-1.centos4.i386.rpm
heartbeat-stonith-1.2.3.cvs.20050927-1.centos4.i386.rpm
kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL-0.7.14-1.centos4.i686.rpm
kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-22.0.1.ELhugemem-0.7.14-1.centos4.i686.rpm
kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp-0.7.14-1.centos4.i686.rpm
kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-22.EL-0.7.14-1.centos4.i686.rpm
kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-22.ELhugemem-0.7.14-1.centos4.i686.rpm
kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-22.ELsmp-0.7.14-1.centos4.i686.rpm

Those should be binary compatible with the equivalent RHEL4 kernel so
you'd need to update your systems to the same level from the RHN and
you'll need to install the CentOS GPG key to install the RPMs.

Will.
