the NAS term (never a good term, IMHO), is too vage.  generally, it's much 
better if the protocols between the storage (NAS in your question) and the 
applications (the Xen boxes) is block-based (FC, iSCSI, GNBD, AoE) instead of 
file-based (NFS, Samba, AFS)

i believe somebody here in the list wrote the needed scripts to make HA 
initiate the rebooting of a DomU on the still working box, don't remember 
who...
