In the early days of linux, the LVS-DR realserver could have
the VIP on any device (my experiments on this are in the
HOWTO at
http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.arp_problem.html#vip_devices
).
I've heard from people on the list, that you can't get some
of these configurations to work for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.
Presumably the routing has changed.
Can you put two IPs on a NIC in windows? Can you put
a 2nd NIC into the windows box, and put the VIP on the 2nd
(otherwise unconnected) NIC? You might have to change the
netmask for the VIP for windows
