I fiddled with the ascii art but couldn't make anything
sensible of it. You have a medical information server, which
I assume is a realserver. Then you have
->tomcat->application->tomcat. Later you seem to say that
the medical server is a client. This is too many layers deep
to be sensible. Still none of it seems to bear on your
problem.

I assume this all works with a single standalone server.
If the client is connecting to the VIP, then the realserver
will be contacted on the VIP. If the application is replying
on the RIP, then there is something wrong with the
application. If so you aren't the first one to find this.
rsh does the same thing (see the HOWTO).
You can check for this problem with tcpdump (netstat on the
realserver will show IPs and ports, check with `netstat -p
prog_name`).
Make sure the application is not listening/running/attached
to the RIP (at least for testing that your LVS works).
If the realserver is replying from the VIP and the reply is
not getting to the client, then there is a problem with your
routing (`ipvsadm` will show InActConn without an ActConn).
You can check your routing by running telnet as your LVS'ed
service to see if this behaves.
