Ayup.  That being part of the utterly absurd implementation of 
clustering through as many as 20 shared configuration files and 
variously more, and largely a result of file accretion and not of 
design, and of compatibility and not of simplicity nor maintainability, 
and certainly not of ease of use.

It works.  When it works.   But it's a train-wreck to deal with.   And 
it's a mess to extend and to update, and a mess for the system manager 
to upgrade.

But then I'm being polite.
