Not exactly. In normal operating, director1 serves clients and realservers with
ipvsadm at location1. So does director2 at location2 with its own clients and
realservers.
In a backup scenario, there are no more realservers at location 1 which can be
served by the director1 at location1.
Director1 now starts routing through gre to director2 at location2. In this
case, it is ensured that director2 has realservers available, which serve the
request.

If I understand correctly, nopmtudisc within GRE-tunnels masks fragmentation to
client and server.

The connection is terminated after the transfer, so only new connections don´t
work , I reckon.
