Running sync_client out of cyrus.conf is a mistake.  It can be  
started stand-alone, and that's the best way to do it.  If it dies,  
review why it died, fix whatever problems the review reveals, and  
restart just sync_client.  Rolling replication is better than simply  
running sync_client from cron.

My other bit of advice is to upgrade.  2.3.7 has a lot of replication  
problems.  Many, many of the changes that have happened since 2.3.7  
are improvements to replication.
