The egress IP node offline tracking code was assuming that when nodes go offline, this would manifest as connections timing out. That works for detecting the initial online->offline transition, but eventually the kernel will start just returning
EHOSTUNREACH
to new connection attempts right away if it knows the node is still not reachable. So we should consider that "offline" too.
