[Pacemaker] Configure simple Network Load-balancing

[David Coulson]

I would add HA to your existing HA config - The primary issue you have 
right now is that if tomcat is down, broken or needs to be disabled you 
don't have a good way of doing that automatically.

My implementations for this type of application are pacemaker + 
ldirectord + LVS. Since you have a 15x increase in number of clients, 
now is a good time to argue the business case for something more robust 
than CLUSTERIP.
