Hmm, I don't think my scenario is going to happen.
I was thinking if the client got a new IP for the 
LVS in the middle of a tcp session (which may only
be seconds long). However once you have the tcp session,
you already have the IP and you won't be asking DNS
for IPs after that.

I still don't know what this is.

You can have multiple default gw (according to the tcpip 
spec). You can't do it with route, but you can probably
do it with iproute2. But I don't think this is your problem.

When you patch with ip_vs you get all forwarders if this
is what you mean
