It depends on what the replication settings are on a given database.  You 
can utilize PIRC (purge interval replication control) on the databases in 
the cluster member(s) that are still active to prevent ghost documents 
from being replicated in when the cluster member that has been down for an 
extended period of time is brought back online.

Hope this helps,
Kim

I remember reading somewhere that if a cluster member is down for an 
extended time, such as a week or so, that bringing it back online can be 
dangerous.  Meaning something like this:
ServerA is in a cluster with ServerB.
ServerA is dropped for an extended period of time.
Databases on ServerB get new records, etc.

Since ServerA was down so long if you bring it back up resyncing it may 
actually drop the new rows or some such thing.  It's all a little foggy to 
me exactly what the concern was.  Maybe it was deletions in ServerB would 
get replicated back in from ServerA.  This seems more likely.

I tried a google search but apparently I'm not getting the right 
terminology to find a related hit.
