4) The rules about when failover occurs remain unchanged (ten consecutive
ping failures, I believe). With the maximum of five targets, that means
that each machine will have to fail to return two packets in a row in
order to cause a failover--a nearly impossible feat, unless the interface
has actually failed for some reason.

It's 10 second, not 10 failures (by default). With the default of 1 ping
every 5 seconds it means that all 5 hosts must fail to respond to a ping
once before it will failover.

This is configurable in /etc/default/mpathd
