Actually I just finished reading 
http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.arp_problem.html 
about 5 minutes before your reply and applied the following to my 
sysctl.conf:

net.ipv4.conf.eth0.arp_ignore = 1
net.ipv4.conf.eth0.arp_announce = 2
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce = 2

And now it seems to be working again. Thanks for the quick reply Graeme!
