This is weird, look like some problem in your scripts or the commit is
not working in node fw1-irt. The packet counters of the entry above show
that this is the old entry which is stuck in the cache after the second
failover. This should be deleted when fw1-irt's script issues the commit
(conntrackd -c). Does the log file tells that the commit was successful?
The following attached patch adds more verbose output to tell you that
some old entries has been deleted. Just in case that you need more
information for troubleshooting.
