Often times when my replication breaks, it is a quasi monumental task to re-sync.
Luckily, my replication is occurring on a data warehouse, where the tables represent each days worth of data. If replication fails, I can usually, get replication back on track by fixing whatever occurs in the data/<servername>.err file. If the files get out of sync, I have to abandon replication to get me back synced and reset the master "reset master", remove the master and relay files on the slave. Usually I will do a quick snapshot on the master and reset replication on the master, transfer files to the slave, and start slave replication, almost like doing a clean setup. Since I am out of sync by usually at most 24 hours, I only have to transfer a couple of tables to get back into sync. I guess the moral to this long winded story, is be very careful how you design your tables so recovering from replication failure is easier.

Why wouldn't they sync up? If you left off at master-005, pos 123 (lets say). It should pick up right there.. If your missing bin log files, then you need to set up the master to not delete logs the slave has not processed yet. This would assure your up to date, once the slave comes back alive..
