Question on Group Leader

If the network gets partitioned to two subgroups, will each subgroup
have its own leader? And I hope that upon amalgamation the subgroups,
there will only be a single leader?
 
On a separate note, is it possible to use a transport other than JXTA?
Or is the implementation strongly coupled with the JXTA facilities? For
example, is leader election a functionality provided by JXTA or SHOAL?
 
Thanks,
