In an LVS-NAT setup, on a rare occassion, the ARP cache of one of the real servers gets the wrong MAC address for the director, I assume after a re-ARP. It gets the MAC of eth0 instead of eth1. It's easy to fix with an arp -s, but I'd like to understand why this happens.

did a failover occur in the middle here? If so, the device that takes over an IP has to send-arp (or similar) to let other devices know that the IP has moved.
