Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

Which would be the default.
But yes, because of the message "PingAck did not arrive in time",
at least this may be the right tunable.

But the real mis-configuration is that you apparently try to run
dual-primary without any fencing at all.

Without fencing, you get to keep the pieces.

Without fencing, any replication link hickup results in data divergence,
aka a "split brain" scenario. You really want to avoid that.
