Yes, capturing traffic sounds like the best troubleshooting tool for
this situation.
Just a quick clarification about the gratuitous arp issue during
failover. The problem isn't with the layer-2 switches, it's with the
next-hop router (the external default gateway for the LVS directors).
It's common behavior with Cisco routers to update their arp cache table
in response to source-generated packets but not in response to
gratuitous arp packets.
Thanks,
