Doesn't look like it, as you've not configured fencing. Are you running
a cluster proper? If so, what? If you do, and if that cluster is using
the DRBD link for cluster communication then breaking the link could be
triggering the cluster's fencing.

You're on a dedicated link, so there is no real reason to add the
overhead of encryption.
Secondly, whenever you have dual-primary, you *must* have fencing
configured. In EL5/DRBD 8.3.9 this is done with:
=====
disk {
fencing resource-and-stonith;
}
handlers {
outdate-peer "/sbin/obliterate-peer.sh";
}
=====
Replace that script if you're not using red hat cluster service with a
script that will call the fence device of your choice.
