How did I conclude? Incorrectly!  :-)  Actually I believe I noticed that
when I was doing my initial round of tests and still had IP failover going
on. At first, when I failed server-a there was no hang, but when I failed
server-b there was an unrecoverable hang. So I thought the client must have
been reading from server-b. But there must have been something else going on
that caused my odd result. Perhaps server-a was having a problem and the
client connected to server-b out of necessity... It was not something I
tested thoroughly, just a quick observation. 

Thanks!
