I don't understand exactly what you mean by this. Resource-only fencing 
would create a -inf score on node1 when the node loses the drbd 
communication channel (the only one drbd uses), however you could still 
have heartbeat communication available via the secondary link, then you 
shouldn't fence the entire node, the resource-only fencing does that for 
you, the only thing you need to do is to add the drbd fence handlers in 
/etc/drbd.conf.
        handlers {
                fence-peer "/usr/lib/drbd/crm-fence-peer.sh";
                after-resync-target "/usr/lib/drbd/crm-unfence-peer.sh";
        }

Is this what you meant?
