The problem apparently is that 'node2' connects to 'node1', using the
join_using_dsn and passes it the node_external_dsn. node1 takes that,
and attempts to connect to that. Sadly, the DSN does not contain any
host, so node1 uses localhost and connects to itself. And finds that the
identity does not match the expected one (because it expects *583,
assigned to node2, but gets *820, which is probably node1).

This seems correct, but apparantly node1 can't connect to node2, using
the external_dsn. Try connecting using psql from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.2
and then from 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.1. So something like this:
# from 10.0.0.1
psql -h 10.0.0.2 -p 5432 demo
# from 10.0.0.2
psql -h 10.0.0.1 -p 5432 demo
If that does not work, you probably need to investigate - firewall
settings, pg_hba.conf and postgresql.conf (maybe it's not listening on
this address)?
