Without looking at the details of your setup

1. how would your primary server know that 10.89.99.30 is unreachable
*from the outside* and
2. if your secondary server can't reach 10.89.99.30, how does it tell
whether it's the primary or itself that got cut off?

In my "R1" clusters I have a mon script that greps for "link detected:
yes" in the output of ethtool. Obviously, if both go off (e.g. the
switch loses power), that's gonna screw things up, but then I'll have
bigger problems anyway.
