Tristan, 

I believe there have been a few threads in the netfilter list talking about 
connection synching between cluster nodes.  I believe they have some scripts 
for this in the contrib directory on the distribution files.

We currently run a Linux-HA clustered bridge and it works great.  We aren't 
synching the connections at this time though.  

Hope that helps, 

Gary
