A.
This can be solved by running the command Sticky VPN on the Check Point CLI. This keeps the VPN Sticky to one member and the problem is resolved.

B.
This is surely a problem in the ISPs network and not related to the VPN configuration.

C.
This can be solved when using clusters; they have to use single firewalls.

D.
This can easily be solved by using the Sticky decision function in ClusterXL.
