Hi there Trevor...
Use this when setting up the Real servers:

       -p, --persistent [timeout]
              Specify that a virtual service is  persistent.  If  this
option  is
              specified,  multiple  requests  from  a client are redirected
to the
              same real server selected for the first  request.
Optionally,  the
              timeout  of  persistent  sessions may be specified given in
seconds,
              otherwise the default of 300 seconds will be used. This
option  may
              be used in conjunction with protocols such as SSL or FTP where
it is
              important that clients  consistently  connect  with  the  same
real
              server.

it's copied and pasted from 'man ipvsadm'

:-)

Good luck,
