Yes, there is no trigger implemented to sync all
connections at once. But looking at the code I don't see
why sync should stop transferring information. I don't
know what kernel you are using but even connections with
IP_VS_CONN_F_SYNC bit (created while we were backup)
should be synced when we are master. Of course, it can depend
on forwarding methods, fwmark usage, kernel (IPVS sync
protocol) version, netfilter (stateful firewalling dropping
the synced conns), etc. May be you can give more information
and to share more observations.
