Failover failed

Hi,

I have a cluster with two nodes, lynndie and sivits. Sivits has been 
falling over a lot recently - require reboots every other day. It's a new 
machine, so I expect to get it repaired. I'm not in a great hurry, because 
failover with wackamole seems to be working fine....

Until now. Lynndie just fell over, and no failover happened. Spread and 
wackamole configurations are identical on both hosts, as are hardware 
configurations.

As Lynndie came up, Sivits got all the IP addresses for the cluster, but 
has since dropped some. Lynndie hasn't aquired any. Spread logs show that 
Lynndie did join the spread group on boot, and Sivits logs show that 
*something* happened at the time Lynndie broke, but not that any member 
left the group.

Wackamole logged nothing on either host until I rebooted Lynndie.

Does anyone know what could cause this kind of asymmetry.
