What is the output of ps ax | grep syn. If you don't seem two entries,
one for syncmaster and one for syncslave, then connections will
only ever be synchronised one way. If you see two (on both nodes)
then connections will be synchronised both ways.

The basic problem is that when the old-master reboots,
if it snatches back master status straight away, then
there won't have been time for the other node to syncrhonise
connections as packets for them are recieved. What you
really need to do is to be able to have a node ask the
other node to send over all the information it has,
and to know when that is complete.
I'm not aware of any patches that do that, though that
doesn't mean they aren't out there. However, an alternate
is to make the rebooted node be a stand-by until such
time as the other node fails.
