It doesn't have to be. Couchdb and Clouseau communicate over Erlang RPC (the same protocol the couchdb nodes use to talk to each other). You can specify the Clouseau node name in the couchdb configuration. But do note that they are still _paired_. Each couchdb node should be configured to talk to its own, separate, Clouseau node.
