Here goes... Please tell me it does not make sense so I can stop banging
my head over what was wrong.

On a reboot the private connection between the two servers would not re-
establish. They would have to be shutdown and then restarted
simultaneously... That was not a problem. I only had issues if one
server was shut down, the backup took over. When the first server comes
back up, if the private connection did not get re-established before the
second server is restarted then the head aches would start... The two
servers would become out of sync and replication would stop because of
duplicate entry. After I upgraded to a 10/100MB switch I could not get
MySQL to use that ethernet card...

In case you want to know, the private connection was a tulic (24x4x)
fiber connection running a 192.168.10.x/255.255.255.252 ip scheme.
