I'm playing around with a drbd + mysql setup, and I had some questions about how the servers should be connected. I currently have two virtual machines running, each with two ethernet ports. On each machine eth0 is Bridged - so it's connected to our development subnet. The eth1 ports are both on a private network within VM (VMnet5). I think that's the best way I can simulate a cross-connected cable between servers on eth1. I have both heartbeat bcast and drbd working over eth1. I've had this working for a while and I've been testing various fail-over situations. The one thing I've noticed is that pretty much all hell breaks loose if I take down eth1 on either of the servers. While I would admit in a real situation it is unlikely that anything should happen here, it can be a point of failure. What are the best ways of address this? Is my setup lacking?
