[Linux-HA] Broadcast Heartbeat gets lost if a interface gets temporary unavailable

[Thomas Glanzmann]

Hello,
I have a crosslink cable between two nodes (it's eth1 on both nodes).
When I type in

        ifdown eth1
        ifup eth1

I don't see the heartbeat link via eth1 on the other node. The only
thing that helps is if I call

        /etc/init.d/heartbeat restart

on the node that lost "eth1" is that supposed to be that way? I consider
it a bug. I also tried "/etc/init.d/heartbeat reload" which did not
help.
