Have successfully setup centos 5.5 -

# crm status
============
Last updated: Wed Mar 23 22:32:40 2011
Stack: openais
Current DC: cluster1 - partition with quorum
Version: 1.0.10-da7075976b5ff0bee71074385f8fd02f296ec8a3
2 Nodes configured, 2 expected votes
2 Resources configured.
============
Online: [ cluster1 cluster2 ]
 ClusterIP (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2): Started cluster1
 WebSite (ocf::heartbeat:apache): Started cluster1

Everything appears to work fine when failing over.  However I don't
understand why

crm configure show
node cluster1 \
attributes standby="off"
node cluster2 \
attributes standby="off"
primitive ClusterIP ocf:heartbeat:IPaddr2 \
params ip="192.168.0.155" cidr_netmask="32" \
op monitor interval="30s"
primitive WebSite ocf:heartbeat:apache \
params configfile="/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf" \
op monitor interval="1min"
colocation website-with-ip inf: WebSite ClusterIP
property $id="cib-bootstrap-options" \
dc-version="1.0.10-da7075976b5ff0bee71074385f8fd02f296ec8a3" \
cluster-infrastructure="openais" \
expected-quorum-votes="2" \
stonith-enabled="false" \
no-quorum-policy="ignore"
rsc_defaults $id="rsc-options" \
resource-stickiness="100"

cluster1 IP is 192.168.0.150
cluster2 IP is 192.168.0.151

The cluster fail over IP is 192.168.0.155

I don't see any IP alias -
