I don't think so - afaik IP as a cluster interconnect is only supported 
with the HP TCP/IP stack.

This will certainly change with the arrival of VSI TCP/IP; but I doubt 
that third party stacks will be supported in the foreseeable future.

But without IP as a cluster interconnect I don't see why this 
configuration should give you problems.
