[mythtv-users] fixes/29 [v29.1-40-g951f1fe] - why is the FE disconnecting and connecting so many times?

[Jim]

Is it normal or ok that I get lots of log entries that the client has 
disconnected and then the client gets added?
I know the "I" entries are just Informational but why is it 
disconnecting and connecting so many times?

"docbuntu" is the master BE and a FE.
revo1 is a slave BE and a FE

Below are 2 snips from a backend log.
