These addresses come from the openais multiring configuration. The jump
from 1 to 2 openais rings is going to be challenging enough, IME. As
Patrick points out, dlm-kernel supports up to 3.

How about this, once someone demonstrates a functional cluster running
just two rings and two sctp paths for the dlm, I'll bump up the kernel
limit.

Whatever happened to "we'll only run one cluster at a time"? :-)

Those are multiple rings among the same nodes for the sake of redundancy
in one cluster; it's some kind of variation of the totem protocol IIRC,
Steve Dake can explain it. It's most definately not for multiple
clusters.
