The duplicates part means that either more than one host is replying
to the ping requests, or that the host is replying twice for some
reason.  Most common cause is if you're pinging a broadcast address
or a load-balanced/cluster IP.  I don't think there's a way to
disable the warning state for multiple packets, though you could
modify check_ping to add an option to do so.

Alternatively, you could remove the ping service or host test from
the cluster address, and just have it enabled for individual hosts
in the cluster.
