Well I tried this on my two real servers that are being load balanced with
LVS and I still have my original problem.  It seems even though I have these
entries, when I hit the VIP it continues to resolve to only one of the
servers, even though I turn off apache on the server that it's resolving to.
I'm assuming LVS should tell the request to route to the second server, but
tcpdump reveals that its still hitting the first.  Is it possible the ARP is
still messed up or does that clear in some short time frame?

With RHEL3 you can install the arptables_jf package (included in RHEL) and
use 
that to overcome the ARP problem.  No patching of the kernel is required.

On the Real Servers:

arptables -F
arptables -A IN -d $VIP -j DROP
arptables -A OUT -s $VIP -j mangle --mangle-ip-s $RIP
service arptables_jf save
chkconfig arptables_jf on

where RIP = Real Server IP address and VIP = Virtual IP address.
