FWIW, we're using DRBD + pacemaker in active/passive setups for both the 
MySQL and RabbitMQ setup in the trystack.org (the artist formerly known 
as FreeCloud) project, and it's working quite well and is pretty simple 
to set up. Nati Ueno could give some more details on the setup and the 
Chef cookbooks used...

Best,
