Ah.   Is any sort of encryption done for cluster-over-IP?

  Oh heck no.   That sort of overhead's resultant latency would destroy
the performance of a cluster on all but the very fastest of machines.

  Further, most VMS clusters are built with machines in the same
datacenter.   It's not generally a wide-area thing.
