Ramesh,

If you can put me in front of a 200 node cluster (remote access would
do), I can work on the configuration for you.  Without that information,
it is difficult to say exactly what timer values are required.  The
timer mechanisms are all explained in openais.conf and every timer is
run time configurable.
