Hi Sean,
thanks for clarifying that. It was my understanding that that's the way it 
should work, but I just want to be certain. I think the network lag could be 
the only problem, so it may be good to give it a minute or so before shutting 
down the second server.

There is certainly a network lag across servers so replication isn't
'instantaneous' but you shouldn't have to wait for session timeout to
restart servers - you should be able to stop a server, do your
maintenance, start it and then stop the next server in the sequence. I
don't think that note in the documentation implies anything about the
timing of replication, only the mechanics (that changes to session
variables must be made explicitly through those methods).
