No. Just don't even try it! It's far more complicated than just the
communication ports between nodes. The communications between subsystems
and cman on the node itself. How does a program know which cluster it is
working for (if any)? can it cope with being in more than one cluster?
What happens with fencing?

These are all solvable problems, of course. but each one is non-trivial
in itself.
