Is there a way to time-out the failure of PingD?

In my configuration, I cannot run PingD all the time on every node. Only one 
node (the master) has public Internet access. I use PingD to cause the master 
to fail-over to one of the slaves. When a slave becomes master, it then gains 
public Internet connectivity. When it is a slave, the entire interface is down, 
so not even the gateway is reachable. So, I set up a PingD resource that is 
co-located with the master resource in the Master state. I also set up 
constraints that assign a -1000 score to a node for each resource if that node 
loses connectivity to the gateway. The result is that if I firewall off ICMP on 
the master, it correctly fails over to a slave. Then, it runs a stop on the 
master, as expected since it has a -1000 score. The result is that my master 
resource runs as Master on the node that was the slave, and is Stopped on the 
node that was the master. However, it is still stuck with a -1000 score, and 
will never restart on the node that was the master until PingD thinks it has 
connectivity back. But that won't happen because PingD no longer runs on that 
node since the interface is down on it and it won't see anything if it did.

I set a failure-timeout on the PingD resource, but it does not seem to do 
anything. Running 'crm_verify -VVVVV -L 2>&1 | less' shows that the -1000 score 
stays there, even well past the failure-timeout.

Anybody have any suggestions how I can automatically clear that -1000 score 
after a certain (small) interval of time?
