Cisco Switches, not sure of their config as they are handled by our network

Yes, the gw is the internel VIP.

Adjusted the gc_thresh from 1024 in

Are you asking about the vip_netmask or the nat_netmask? The netmaks shown are
our internal masks. The values are as per the RH documentation. There was no
mention of the value you have mentioned.

The Users talk to Web App on IIS web servers that talk to a database that
requires a minium of 1hr persistancy.

The VIP should have 255.255.255.255 as a mask.
The RH Doco had 255.255.255.0. Sorry for my ignorancy. What is the reason for
this.

These are external address 10.0.1.88 and 89 that I'vve NATed in the iptables
rules to 172.24.24.2 and 3. This is so the developers can RDP to each box
individually.

eth1:1 is the active internal VIP.
