Recovering from Monitor Failures
==================================
+.. index:: monitor, high availability
+
In production clusters, we recommend running the cluster with a minimum
of three monitors. The failure of a single monitor should not take down
the entire monitor cluster, provided a majority of the monitors remain
iptables -A INPUT -m multiport -p tcp -s {ip-address}/{netmask} --dports 6789,6800:6810 -j ACCEPT
+
+Latency with Down Monitors
+==========================
+
+When you have a monitor that is down, you may experience some latency as
+clients will try to connect to a monitor in the configuration even though
+it is down. If the client fails to connect to the monitor within a timeout
+window, the client will try another monitor in the cluster.
+
+You can also specify the ``-m`` option to point to a monitor that is up
+and in the quorum to avoid latency.
