Question: When server becomes client - peers stays as it was - bug or feature ?

[sielaq]

Hi

We had a funny incident. We used to have 3 servers and few clients for a quite some time - everything works fine. Suddenly one of the client became server for a while, due to human error.
Of course peers++ has been change in cluster. When mistake was corrected back (server become client again) peers was unchanged - even when consul members says that there are 3 servers (and no host is missing - because the left server is hidden now behind client)

of course leader election was not working that time,
the cure was to set it back to server and do consul force-leave , and set it back to client.

Question: is it by design, or should this "special use case" (when server becomes client)
remove from peers entry to bring back leader election ?
