We met the same situation with several 3rd party cluster products.
Technical Support (Check Point/Nokia) adviced us :

  1. Check that 'hostname' match 'object name' and 'hosts' files are
     consistent on all Check Point boxes (management and firewall
     modules).

  2. Decrease "sync" load by disabling synchronisation for short time
     traffic like HTTP and DNS. You can do that in the "Advanced"
     section of "service" objects.

  3. Re-initialize synchronisation (cphastop/cphastart). You already
     tested this solution.

  4. Apply NG FP3 HF2 HFA310 (or HFA312) which fixes the infamous issue
     which cause error message like "fwlddist_adjust_buffer: record too
big for sync."
