If you have 1000 machines and the switch dies, you will have 4000 events when 
everything reconnects. The server will record its own events and the clients 
will record duplicate copies from their end. The audit trail has not been lost 
or anything bad happened. I think this is more of a systems management issue 
than security.

You should have daemon start/end events at the aggregator. Are they not 
getting there? Also, the aggregator should have matching connect/disconnect 
events.
