When one render node fails, the whole job fails

New to using deadline. I found that if one rendernode on the farm fails, it fails that frame and then moves onto the next frame, then fails that frame.

The problem with this is that if one of our render nodes is erroring for whatever reason, the whole job fails because this one rendernode quickly picks up each frame and fails it.

This seems like an odd thing to happen, as when we were using backburner, if one rendernode failed on a frame, another render node would be assigned to that frame.

Is there a way to change this behaviour?

Many thanks

enable worker failure detection and set it to 2, this will mark the node bad for that job after 2 failures
