watchdogs

I noticed that slony 1.1 (I have not tried earlier versions) create 2 slon
processes at startup. The startup log mention a "watchdog process".

My question is : do I need a "external" watchdog script to kill/restart slon
if necessary (like the perl watchdog tool packed with slony) or is this
unecessary with the 1.1 version of Slony ?

I use ssh tunneling to let my 2 nodes communicate, and I noticed that if I
shutdown and restart the ssh tunnel a few seconds later (simulating a network
failure for the slave node) , I have to restart slon (on the slave node only)
to keep the replication going on. Is this normal ?

Thanks.
