not responding (recover wait)

[Thomas Zenz]

Hi all,

Today at 0:15 our master DHCP Server died. Failover recognized
partner-down. But then it changed to potential-conflict and stopped
answering to DHCP requests with the log entry not responding (recover
wait).
Even when the master was up and running again (8 hours later) the state
did not change. So I manualy changed the state to partner state to
down.

We have Version 3.0.3r3, on a gentoo system. Gentoo dose not recommend
the version 3.0.4r1 where may Failover issues are fixed. Is there a
reason?

tx
