Or, if using HAModClusterService, and node2 was the HA singleton master,
node1 will tell node2 to tell httpd that node1 is gone...

I should be. Do you see the appropriate STOP_APP, REMOVE_APP messages
in your httpd access log?

I never said that, but I think I know of the conversation to which you refer...
If you are running mod_cluster via HAModClusterService and node1 crashed
(instead of a clean shut down), node2 will not send any MCMP messages to
httpd on behalf of node1 when it receives a view change.
