It seems to me that this is one place where you have to add some configuration. Using the convention by itself won't work. One strategy I use is to name all of my unit test classes "*Test" and all my integration test classes "*IntTest". I then exclude "*IntTest" from surefire and include "*IntTest" in failsafe. I suppose another approach would be to name your integration tests "*TestInt", and that would allow you to only specify configuration in failsafe, as surefire would be fine.
