I'm confused.
Assuming you have LVS-DR topology (not NAT) it shouldn't matter what the
gateway is so long as you don't ARP-reply for the VIP from the
real/appplication servers. If you are running NAT topology then you will
have to use the director as your gateway. In either case if you wanted to
you could have other machines use the LVS-director as their gateway box.
If that doesn't help please respond with an ascii diagram indicating what
you are trying to do.
Hope that helps
