Are you talking about the expired connection that was originally created on
the primary Director?

At failover time the open sockets on the backup Director may survive when
the backup Director aquires the VIP (of course the localnode connections to
the primary Directory are dropped anyway), but that's not going to happen at
failback time automatically. You may be able to rig something up with
ipvsadm using the --start-daemon master/backup but it is not supported
"out-of-the-box" with Heartbeat+ldirectord. (I think this might be easier on
the 2.6 kernel btw). Perhaps what you want to acheive is only possible with
dedicated Directors not using LocalNode mode.
