That slightly odd, but see further down...

Which is what you would want, yes.

Aha!
You want "/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/send_redirects" to be 0. Your
director is probably still sending out redirects to the client and/or
the realserver so may not be getting the full 3-way handshake and both
ends of the conversation.

I don't get you with this one. Summarising your tcpdump:
172.16.5.17.50791 > 172.16.5.215.http: SYN
172.16.5.215.http > 172.16.5.17.50791: SYN/ACK
172.16.5.17.50791 > 172.16.5.215.http: ACK
172.16.5.17.50791 > 172.16.5.215.http: PSH/ACK
172.16.5.215.http > 172.16.5.17.50791: ACK
172.16.5.215.http > 172.16.5.17.50791: PSH/ACK
172.16.5.17.50791 > 172.16.5.215.http: ACK
172.16.5.215.http > 172.16.5.17.50791: RST
I'm assuming there that:
172.16.5.17 is the client
172.16.5.215 is the VIP
eth0:1 is the interface alias on the director to which the VIP is bound
If so, the above looks like a perfectly good transaction to me; the fact
that you isolated the traffic so tightly with your dump on eth0:1, port
80 and grep means you're not seeing any additional traffic such as
redirects or ICMP error messages.
With everything "unloaded" - ie. only your test client involved - you
need to run tcpdump on eth0 on the director (assuming it only has a
single interface), not on eth0:1; don't just dump port 80, dump all
traffic; and don't grep out the client alone. You need to see what the
realservers are doing, too, to make sense of this. I'd also recommend
using the "-q" option to tcpdump, it makes the dumps much easier to
read :)
You may want to run a similar dump on the realservers at the same time,
for correlation (making sure the clocks are synchronised first).

No, it wouldn't.
