Simple service/host failovers will not work. the system will mostly stay
in a not working state. Dont ask me too much now, sorry just came back
from vacation and now I do not have the time to re-setup and debug
everything again.
Maybe someone else saved the irc logs (just search for the-me in the
debian-ha channel on oftc)
