test.ping timeout behaviour

[Glenn E. Bailey III]

I have a test deployment of two Salt masters with 1000 minions pointing to both and I'm noticing some odd behavior when trying to verify a node is up with a 'test.ping'. 

If I do say "salt -t 60 node_name test.ping" a good portion of the time this will not return a result. But if I run the same command again right after the timeout occurs, it returns successful. 

Can someone explain what is causing this to happen? I'm working on a project that 1st verifies Salt is communicating with the node with a 'test.ping' before actually moving forward with having it do anything. Is there something I can tweak to get a better response time?

I'm not sure if this relates to you, but I noticed very similar behavior today on some of my minions without public-routable ip addresses and the issue was related to this: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/11578

That is strange behavior.  What version of Salt are you using?
