I seem to recall doing this by accident some years ago, and getting a lot of deadlocks (and resulting rollbacks). I know the whole system is carefully designed for safety, so I don't think it'll break anything, but I think you'll get a lot of non-optimal locking that will block stuff. Also, your troubleshooting will be a nightmare. I suspect you'd be much better off to run some sort of watchdog across machines and start in the event you can't reach through. If you have a network problem between the nodes, you still shouldn't break anything, but it's more likely to work smoothly, I think.
