One, physically separate load balancer. (ubuntu 6.06). Two physically
separate real servers.  This is all brand spanking new, high end intel
hardware.  Running DR ( with the loopback adapater on the 2k3 servers).

The real servers are using the same physical interface to respond to the
load balanced requests as to the direct requests.

The more hops out the more the issue presents itself.  I am trying to by
pass the loadbalancer in the problem case to see if it is even the issue.
