Hi,
ASA 11.0.1.2276

This morning we had yet another failure of our ASA mirror. As reported
before, the mirroring process just stops working. Even when both
mirrors are connected again after a network interruption, data being
inserted into the primary just stops being mirrored into the
secondary.

I'd really like this to be reported as a bug and investigated as it's
happening on a regular basis.

Thanks!
