There are a couple of problems with trying to figure out
what's going on.
o LVS UDP has problems (see the HOWTO). AFAIK there isn't a
test for high throughput single port UDP that we can use to
check that UDP load balancing is working. ntp was used as a
test in the early days, but the packet throughput is
designed to be low. I don't know if your UDP test qualifies
(it might, but you don't say so). Is your UDP test a single
port send-reply system? If not should be easy enough to
write a pair of programs in perl that are a udp ping-echo
pair.
o no-one has SIP working on LVS, although people like
yourself are putting some effort into it.
So at the moment it's hard to test LVS for its ability to
load balance SIP when we don't know that it's load balancing
UDP.

When there are problems with UDP, won't there be a whole lot
of ports tied up on the UDP server with packets that haven't
found anywhere to go?
