I beleive what you are looking for is STONITH. "Shoot The Other Node In The Head".
Generally, this is set up with a dedicated line, serial or crossover, so that if one
node wants to take over services, it sends a kill signal to ensure that only one
HA master is up at a time. This is designed to avoid contention where two or more
servers think that they should be the master.
Google "Heartbeat and Stonith". There are tons of resources available to guide you
through setting this up, and you can find the guide that most closely follows your current
configuration.
Test the config in a lab environment, and when you are satisfied that it works correctly
you can just migrate the configs to your live environment.
