The whole purpose of a ping node is to give a resource node confidence that it can safely provide resources to the network. If it loses connectivity to the ping node, it considers itself dead / offline / non-functional. If both resource nodes lose contact with the ping node, then neither of them have the confidence to provide resources, so both of them stop doing so. All I can say is that if this is possible then either your resource nodes have poor network connectivity and should not be used as resource nodes, or else the ping node has poor reachability and should not be used as a ping node. > Currently, when the ping node is unavailable (node itself becomes > unavailable) both nodes stop the resources. This is correct. Neither node can tell whether it should take charge of the resources, so for the sake of safety, they both decline to do so. Two node clusters are intrinsically fragile in this respect. Antony. -- https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6890 - providing 16 million IPv4 addresses for talking to yourself.
