[Pacemaker] Two node cluster and no hardware device for stonith.

[Digimer]

That fence failed until the network came back makes your fence method 
less than ideal. Will it eventually fence with the network still failed?

Most importantly though; Cluster resources blocked while the fence was 
pending? If so, then your cluster is safe, and that is the most 
important part.
