It is not just about the reliability of the networking-connection why
ssh-fencing might be
suboptimal. Something with the IP-Stack config (dynamic due to moving
resources)
might have gone wrong. And resources might be somehow hanging so that
the node
can't be brought down gracefully. Thus my suggestion to add a watchdog
(so available)
via sbd.
