I'm also see the same thing. Since the failback does happen when the new master dies/disconnects/whatever I did not really look into it more. I dont really care what box is MASTER, they are both the same and as long as failover from one to the other works everytime I take a box down I'm fine. But it is odd to see the box with the lowest advskew does not become master anymore. -- Michiel van Baak [email protected] http://michiel.vanbaak.eu GnuPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x71C946BD "Why is it drug addicts and computer aficionados are both called users?"
