Server Offline - status polling?

I noticed if my server is down at the time I boot the client, bringing the server up does not update the client. Does the client not poll the loginserver for status as you sit at the character select screen? I figure that'd be on the client to do, unless the LS can shove updates TO a client...
Right now, the only way to change Down status to Up is to restart the client. Is this expected behavior?

From my experience this is expected. And it sort of makes sense, since the Live servers are rarely down. The client would only need to ping the servers once.

Aye, that is how it works on live. The server list is only sent once and if one of your servers is down when you login to character select it will never be available to login to unless you relog.
