I know I am the one that instigated all of this so I want to be very
clear on what I and what I am confident that my customers would expect.
If a synchronous slave goes down, the master continues to operate. That
is all. I don't care if it is configurable (I would be fine with that).
I don't care if it is not automatic (e.g; slave goes down and we have to
tell the master to continue).
I have read through this thread more than once, and I have also went
back to the docs. I understand why we do it the way we do it. I also
understand that from a business requirement for 99% of CMD's customers,
it's wrong. At least in the sense of providing continuity of service.
Sincerely,
JD
