Yes, having several independent comm paths is a good idea, and as I said OpenAIS/Corosync is currently lacking in that regard. However, we definitely do advise *against* using serial links for cluster communications, and have done so ever since we started recommending using Heartbeat 2.x in CRM mode. With Heartbeat and Pacemaker, just as with Heartbeat 2.x with built-in CRM, don't use serial links. Use redundant network links. Serial links will break once your CIB reaches a certain size, and the cluster manager decides it must push a full CIB across the wire.
