The frontend Cisco switch sees the VIP has moved ports and is now on a
different server.

just checking: there is a switch in front of the two directors and it sees the changeover

However our upstream doesn't see the switch over it still thinks the primary
LVS is serving the VIP.

there is another router/switch further upstream that doesn't see the changeover? If so, how does it even know about the MAC address of the VIP?

I'm guessing this is because the MAC address the VIP
was on is still live (ETH0).

but it doesn't have the VIP anymore?
