I've just checked and the default reconnect delay is still set to 5 seconds.

Hmn. If the shovels were clustered then it's possible a named shovel's configuration from one node could override the other (due to the way in which individual shovel workers fail-over in 3.1), but you say they're not clustered. Hmn. I'll have a quick go at reproducing this, but AFAICT there's no reason they shouldn't be attempting to reconnect. Unless the reconnect_delay is being overridden somewhere?
