What exactly you want to build? The only thing that you probably can't
do on CentOS5 using DRBD/Corosync or Heartbeat/Pacemaker is building
an active/active dual master cluster with share clustering file system
like OCSF2, And that is because kernel is too old there. everything
else is possible.

If you do need a dual master (which is a pretty rare case) then use
other distro.
