You can have ARP problem with DR setup if:
1. one real server can see the broadcasted ARP probes for VIP sent from
the incoming router/local LAN client
2. one real server uses the incoming router/the LAN client as uplink
router/next hop (incoming router here is the uplink router that feeds
the director with requests after resolving the VIP using ARP).
I assume your problem is in (2)

Topology, please, links. It seems this is an ARP issue. If you
still don't think this is an ARP problem, you can prove it with
"tcpdump -len arp" outputs after deleting the ARP entries (arp -d VIP)
and flushing the routes (linux: ip route flush cache).
