        I'm not an expert in these apps but in the LVS history
the only known delays are from DNS resolutions and IDENT protocol
performed from the real servers.

        30 seconds is an usual time for delay caused from IDENT.
OTOH, IDENT usually works with NAT if you correctly NAT all ports,
not only the port for the real service.

        Try to trace all communications and to spot the problem,
may be there should be other traffic that is not handled.
