Tim,
There were recent bug fixes for instances rejoining cluster checked in
last Thursday.
Using the gms-transport-module branch (that is latest shoal branch), I
was able to confirm two instances
on different machines finding each other after being started up on
isolated network and then having
the network reconnected after startup.
(Simulated loss of network connectivity by running ifconfig
<networkinterface> down followed
80 seconds later by an ifconfig up to the same network interface.)
The same fix was checked into the shoal trunk last Thursday.

P.S.
Just in case you do not know how to checkout and build shoal workspace,
there are instructions on how to check out the trunk or a branch and
build it at
the following link:
