I believe this is how it works:
Packets from the client are always sent to the LVS director first.
This is because any arp requests sent by the client to the VIP will
only be responded to by the director (although the realservers think
they are the VIP, this interface does not respond to arp). Thus any
packet from the client to the VIP ends up at the director. Therefore
the director will see the FIN packets sent when the client closes the
connection.
