No, the clients are supposed to pull. What client version is this? I've seen 0.24.5 clients crash when the master went down, and seen 0.25.5 clients end up in a (apparent) sort of deadlock. No further logging in either scenario. I haven't tried 2.6 yet. You're right, though. The expected result would be a client log entry every half hour.
