Alex,

Yes, you are right. I have implemented this kind of stretched clusters
(or extended clusters) for few customers. The distance varies between
buildings to few miles. Most of them use dark fiber for the
interconnect and use third node for the extended voting.

As you have mentioned, the fast reslivering is not available till 11g
and the ASM preferred read failgroups also not available till 11g. 11g
has lots of improvements in this area and I see lots of people going
for as this configuration can (sometimes) also be used as a limited(!)
DR Solution.

I have a chapter on my RAC book if you are looking for implementation
details. :-)
