syncrepl and refreshAndPersist question: provider restart

[Andreas Hasenack <ahasenack@terra.com.br>]

With 2.3.11 and a provider/consumer setup with refreshAndPersist, what 
triggers the consumer to reconnect to the provider when the provider goes 
down?

For example, suppose both servers are synchronized and using 
refreshAndPersist:
- restart the provider (stop && start)
- change something in the provider
- how does the consumer get notified? 

I tried this just now and the change wasn't propagated to the consumer... Only 
when I restart the consumer does it reconnect to the provider and fetches the 
changes.
