I have not run a setup like this, but I do not see this as being a
problem. You do not give version numbers for any of the RHCS or RAC, nor
if GFS is involved, but if you are running GFS 6.1/RHEL 4, you are already
running RHCS. Either way, as long as you do not do anything to make
scripts, mountpoints or virtual IPs/ports clash between RHCS and RAC, you
should be fine, IMHO.
