Yes. Perhaps it would be a good idea to systematise the dump/restore process so 
that instead of a human being following written instructions, a new peer of 
server A will attempt to a) probe server A to find the key difference b) if the 
difference is large, download a dump from some standard place c) reinitialise 
itself before trying again. 

Removing human error from such processes is A Good Thing in any case...
