You have missed what to do with the outstanding callbacks that server1 is holding (in memory). When server1 does shut down nicely, these are handled (clients notified) during the shutdown. If server1 crashes, these are lost, so clients could in this case continue to use an outdated copy in cache. If I remember correctly, there has been work for the 1.5.x server series to write down callback information (continously) to the /vicepX. That could then be used by a starting server2. I don't know the status of this work in progress. Someone on this list surely can enlighten us.
