Both "directors" are connected via GRE. The first director starts routing to
the second one through the tunnel as soon as the realservers behind it aren´t
available anymore. So it "turns off" the ipvsadm and switches itself to a
routing instance. The second director, which also serves clients and servers at
its location by ipvsadm, starts another ipvsadm instance on the GRE interface
and is receiving routed packets from the first director through GRE tunnel.

It isn´t a typical failover scenario. On each location are two machines
(master/slave).
The failover I´m talking about is switching between datacenters.
If the realservers after director1 at location 1 aren´t available anymore, the
director1 starts normal routing operation through tunnel to the other director2
at location 2, which handles it´s own ipvsadm instances, clients and
realservers.
The director2 now serves client from location 1 with servers at location 2
through GRE Tunnel.

Making a connection from client n, location 1, to an address on director 1, the
director1 routes the packets through the tunnel to location 2. Without running
ipvsadm on director 2, location2, the connection establishes correctly and the
a 600Kb file transfer works fine.
Starting ipvsadm on the gre interface of director2, location2, makes the file
transfer hang due to mtu issues, I presume.
All instances on ipvsadm breaks the tunnel except if a client connects before
to the realserver directly as is explained in the "update" email, I sent
previously.
It´s strange but it think I´m getting closer.
Thanks for your help.
