Thanks all for the feedback about our problem.
In examining this a little further, I think I stumbled upon a fix but I
don't fully understand why it works.
Since we are using IP tunneling, we had set the interface tunl0 to the VIP.
For example:
ifconfig tunl0 <VIP> netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast <VIP>
If instead we set tunl0 to another IP (i.e. the Real Server IP) and then
create an alias of tunl0 and set that to the VIP, the problem seems fixed.
For example:
ifconfig tunl0:0 <VIP> netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast <VIP>
The problem had been that we occasionally would get page not found errors on
our clustered Web server (Red Hat 6.2, kernel 2.2.14 on the director and two
real servers). We didn't see the error consistently, which had us looking at
different browsers etc. The error seemed to only occur on IE.
In looking at the description of the arp problem, it struck me that we might
be experiencing some flavor of that. I noticed we had overlooked in the arp
problem description <http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/arp.html> of first
bringing up tunl0, then hiding the arp, and then configuring a tunl0 alias
to respond to the VIP.
As I said, this seems to work, but I don't understand why the alias is
necessary -- which makes me wonder whether I actually fixed something or
not.
