Hello,
I have two ES clusters of significant sizes of 4 master nodes per cluster. I have another cluster which is configured as cross between the two clusters. Everything works fine when the ES instances are started afresh. However after sometime my second cluster stops showing results from when queried via the cross cluster. Sometimes it works and quite a few times I get the below error:
$ curl -v -XGET [http://10.42.97.15:9400/\_remote/info?pretty](http://10.42.97.15:9400/_remote/info?pretty)

The instance is running perfectly fine and I can do a telnet 10.54.181.15 9300 , which shows connected from the same machine I ran the curl command from.
$ telnet 10.54.181.15 9300
Trying 10.54.181.15...
Connected to 10.54.181.15.
Escape character is '^]'.
Is this a bug?
