This looks like a valid use case. The patch to issue just a warning instead of stopping with a configuration error you can find here: http://hg.linux-ha.org/dev/rev/01ef2fcb540e Note that you'd have to adjust all timeouts to something larger than the deadtime. It's reasonable to assume that everything else is going to be delayed even more than heartbeats.
