From the HA and Group Management Service perspective, we do not support
clustering in a wide-area-network as we rely on multicast based
messaging for a few aspects of group and member discovery, failure
monitoring and session discovery on failover.
It may be possible for a WAN based cluster to work if the WAN end points
were configured to be part of a VLAN configuration with multicast
traffic enabled through the routers involved but officially we have not
tested that.
