Ok. We have only two frontend so I don't think we can crush the mupdate master when it come back up :D If I understand correctly, some strangeness may happen between the time the connection is lost and reestablished, like user creating folders but not seeing them right away. Considering that, would'nt it be a good idea to have that value very low (like 1) to minimize the loss of service ?
