Can anyone give me some insight concerning the .rgyloc file in /sys/node_data/etc ????

From my understanding, it points to the default registry server for the particular node.
The problem is, when that server goes down, the node continues to look for it.  It seems
to eventually give up, but then I usually get the "Can't find Network registry server" error.

Isn't it the point of registry slaves to give a node an alternative if its default server
is down?
