If you want to use the setup suggested on UltraMonkey.Org,
where heartbeat handles failover between the master and slave,
then no. To date heartbeat can only handle two nodes. That
will change in the future, but for now that is the way it is.
Of course you can have as many real servers as you like.

Either should work. Though you may need to make some slight
modifications to the patch if it doesn't apply. I did all my
testing against a kernel.org kernel. Let me know how you go.
