If you enabled just cluster-watcher on remote-nodes that
was not much of an observation.

But if you in addition enabled pacemaker-watcher then
when the remote-node-resource switched from one
cluster-node to another the client receiving the
cib inside pacemaker-watcher didn't get that switch
and still insisted on getting something via the old
connection so that the node was reset via watchdog.

Introducing a tcp-timeout derived from the
sbd-watchdog-timeout makes the connection timeout
and the client switches to the new control-node.

So a remote-node would just be watchdog-fenced
if the remote-node-resource doesn't reconnect within
time - regardless which node it is running now.

Actually that commit in pacemaker should be beneficial
for tooling run on remote-nodes - via proxy - in general.
