Hi Lingu,
I realize you're just trying to get this fixed, but what happened on
your network to make an ha pair that has been stable for three years
start getting flakey?
Everything I know about heartbeat comes from
http://www.linux-ha.org/ha.cf.
I'm fairly sure all you need to add to your config is a bcast line. In a
simple setup, "bcast eth0 eth1" will send heartbeats over eth0 and eth1,
you will probably want "bcast bond0 eth3" depending on your interface
names. Make sure you are also pinging a third host (the subnet's gateway
is a good choice). There was a heartbeat security issue a couple years
ago, you should consider planning to upgrade to a patched version.
