My feeling is that the best way to tackle this would be for the LVS
kernel-code to expire the template used internally for persistent
connections if its real server is set as quiescent.
That said, I think that it is reasonable for ldirectord to have an
option to delete real servers or make them quiescent. Please try the
attached (under-tested) patch which adds a quescent option to the
ldirectord configuration file. The default is for this to be "yes",
setting it to "no" either globably, or within a virtual should give the
behaviour that you are after.
