[Linux-HA] Normal comportment ?

Hi !

I'm using heartbeat between two computers with only one ethernet link 
(not dedicated, so used by heartbeat *and* network).
In my ha.cf, I first used :
bcast eth0

But, Heartbeat has a very strange comportment : master node sometimes 
releases resources without any reason ! Using TCPDump, I've seen that 
this comportment happens when one of the nodes sends packets not 
regularly. I think heartbeat detects this "group" of packets as a 
release resource demand. But why ???

Solution is to use ucast, but I really like to understand why heartbeat 
has this comportment.

Any idea ?
