at least in the old cluster arch (rhel4) you only need to be sure the names of the nodes (the names of the hosts that you use in cluster.conf) resolve to the private network you want to use for internal comunication.
example, in your cluster.conf your nodes names are:

node1-int, node2-int, node3-int

/etc/hosts in every node:
1.1.1.1 node1-int
1.1.1.2 node2-int
1.1.1.3 node3-int

not 100% sure but I think the hostname don't need to match that names
