Hello,

I have exactly the same set up and am (literally) testing it as i type 
this, and i can bring one of the nodes and up and down as much as i like 
without causing an interruption on the other.

I notice that your output says "Status: Created" instead of "Status: 
Started".  I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but it is 
notable.
