The question you have to ask yourself is whether you or your users can
tolerate random "hangs" by the entire cluster for up to RECNXINTERVAL
seconds, pretty much any time there is a network glitch such as rebooting
a switch.  Because that is what wil happen until things resolve themselves
or some node(s) get kicked out of the cluster.

Default RECNXINTERVAL is 20 seconds.
