I am a bit at loss about "less than 4 times the max-heartbeat-sec value".
Why would a min-timeout larger than the max-timeout make sense under any
condition ? Do you mean to say that max-heartbeat should be at least four
times the value of min-heartbeat (or that min-heartbeat should be less or
equal to one-forth of max-heartbeat) ?
