Horms,
Thanks for your reply!
We got the same answer from the LVS-How_To document already. But I just try to 
see if anyone can solve the issue.

My understanding is that you need to enable persistance when
using FTP in conjunction with Direct Routing or Tunnelling 
(but not NAT). The reason is that there is no other way
for the Linux Director to associate the FTP data and control
connections with each other.
