You will need at least 3 machines to have a setup that can survive a node crash. If you only have two, and one machine goes down, you have no way to work out if the machine or the network is down. search for 'split brain'.

One of the 3 is the managament server. It does not need to be on a high powered box, and will probably sit just fine on your web server as well.

Tunnells will be unreliable and slow. Cluster is designed for 100mbit ethernet and the like. Use a private network between machines.
