Those would be the more complex instances of "an additional monitoring
process", right?

What happens when heartbeat is "kill -9"ed? Assume that I want to avoid
STOMITH like approaches.

My proposal could be _used_ by such complex clustering managers, too.

Or, did I overlook there a kernel based solution to "withdraw IP config
when processes die"? Can you provide a direct link on linux-ha?
