I think that I may have found a solution that, while ugly (if not
worse), will work.

It is as follows: if both servers start at the same time, and I
restart heartbeat on the secondary server by doing
/etc/init.d/heartbeat restart, then the primary server dutifully takes
over. Then everything is good.

So I could add a crontab entry to them (I keep everything the same on
both servers religiously, hence the IF statement) as in:

@reboot sleep 1m; if test $(hostname -s) = pfs-srv4; then
/etc/init.d/heartbeat restart > heartbeat-restart.log 2>&1 ; fi

Now, this goes against all good principles, etc. But I think that this
solution will work practically "most of the time".

Any thoughts?
