It is something on solaris called nca. From nca(1)

nca, snca - the Solaris Network Cache and Accelerator (NCA)

We were testing it out I guess.  I didn't know it was turned on when I
tried the lvs_dr.  It is supposed to cache http requests or something of
that sort through a kernel module.  It was causing all kinds of other 
weird problems with iplanet along with breaking lvs_dr.

Nope, these are ultra 10's.  It wasn't my decision to use solaris or
iplanet.  I've not really been impressed with either. Hopefully lvs
will just work, and I won't have to deal with trying to configure
anything on these servers.  I usually let the system administrators 
deal with those pieces of software.
