Can you tell me how to configure the number of ARP packets and interval?
I had red man page of heartbeat and template of ha.cf, but couldn't find
this argument.
I'm sorry to trouble you with simple question.

Yes, I understand your suggestion that it may cause some trouble with
half-dead node. I would like to solve the problem to set the heartbeat
nodes to broadcast the gratuitous arp more longer when failover occurs.
