I'd suggest to try again. You'll get much better support and
better code and more features. hbagent is part of the
pacemaker-mgmt package.

Did you check this http://www.linux-ha.org/ha.cf/HbapingDirective

archives of the mailing list. With hbaping, the situation is
probably different, though I'm sure that there are people using
it.
