The symptoms are very similar indeed. I just tried, but it didn't help.
Thanks a lot for the suggestion, though.
Does anyone know how I could try and track down the TCP connection
problem? I.e. know if it's the Xen host, the LVS director Xen guest or
the web server Xen guest which is "getting something wrong"?
I'm been doing a lot of basic tcpdumps, and only see that at some
point, clients are still receiving data from the LVS address, to the
same port even, but no longer consider it as the followup to the
previously received data.
