    That is exactly what I said - however, the question is "why do we

    I'm not sure what you mean by this - isn't the cluster-id relevant
only for RR configurations? Could you please elaborate a little on this?

    I'm sure that this was thought of a long time ago - and I'm sure

unable to find this reason, so I turned to this list for help :)
