Comment 4 for bug 1998781

While looking into this, we found out that this behavior is only visible when using a DNS name for the remote, so the root of the issue may be related to that. Example:

$ sudo ovsdb-server --private-key=/etc/ovn/key_host --certificate=/etc/ovn/cert_host --ca-cert=/etc/ovn/ovn-chassis.crt --remote=pssl:6642:enp7s0.secure-pigeon.maas relay:OVN_Southbound:ssl:10.247.39.150:6642,ssl:10.247.39.91:6642,ssl:10.247.39.138:6642

If the `--remote` parameter is changed to contain a IP address, the re-connections do not occur.
