I think this is close to what im thinking. Im not sure what you mean by dual-homed, but i plan on having a completely seperate switch for the cluster traffic.  so it would be something like  

    Outside LAN -> Head Node (2 nic's) -> switch -> slave nodes

thanks for the help its been greatly appreciated.
