My understanding was that 'autojoin any' would cause the new node
to broadcast messages with the authkey, which would be passively
detected by the rest of the cluster.  Of course, I may be wrong.  :)

My interest in autojoin was to avoid the 'node' directives from
being different than what was in the hostscache file.

I think that if I _don't_ use autojoin at all then the nodes list
should agree with the hostscache file.

That being the case, I could manually maintain the ha.cf files
across the cluster, and have the heartbeat instances perform a
reload whenever I need to add/remove a load.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback...
