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.
