Hi Joseph! thanks soooo much for your help.
Ok cool, I just use lo, BUT, ummm i'm confused on how the real server
knows how to get back to the VIP? since the VIP is on a completely
different network.
I would assume, you would put another address onto lo? instead of
creating a new file lo:0?

and on the real servers I add this:
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
net.ipv4.conf.lo.arp_ignore = 1
net.ipv4.conf.lo.arp_announce = 2
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce = 2

how do the RS know that the VIP is local?
