As long as the client session is active, the watches should still be active. I have unit test against the txzk python client to this effect, fwiw. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~juju/txzookeeper/trunk/view/head:/txzookeeper/tests/test_session.py#L73 Perhaps your not client isn't reconnecting to the same session on the new server? hth, Kapil
