starting with 2.2.12, the arp patch for the realservers is separate from
the patch for the director (and is documented in the HOWTO now). The
realserver patch is at

http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/sdw_fullarpfix.patch

presumably all your realservers are arping and the one you've found is
the first to reply. You could inplug it and arp for the VIP again 
and see who else is replying.
