We have one static ip per firewall on all interfces. So outside
firewall we have three ip addresses. Yes, you can also do this setup
with single public ip but that is very tricky because that means other
firwall doesn't have internet connectivity. corosync is not moving any
files, corosync is cluster communication layer used by pacemaker. We
use our own tool to keep configurations in sync (it rsyncs configs
between servers). Shared storage is too error-prone.

What our toolset does is reload shrorewall, rsync configs to other
server, reloads shorewall on other server making it sure that both
servers run identical configuration.
