RE: wackamole convergence speed

in other words modify the code?  Can do, but would prefer to avoid it, if
there's a config option.  Can anyone give me a rundown of what the maturity
rate and balance interval in the config really mean in practical terms?

There's no solution for that built into wackamole.  Previous attempts to 
alter the failure detection time have all been in the other direction, 
and have involved modifications to timeouts within the Spread toolkit.  
Modifications in the opposite direction shouldn't be impossible, and may 
suit your application here.  On the other hand, it would probably be 
easier to just add a delay that works similar to the balance timeout 
between the receipt of a regular membership message from Spread and the 
beginning of the GATHER state.
