sorry, I was ambiguous. On the backup director, when it's
receiving updates from the syncd on the master director, do
you see the persistence flag? Come to think of it, I don't
know if the persistence on the backup director comes from
the synchd updates or from running ipvsadm when the
backup becomes the master :-(

This was my reservation when I mentioned the -SH scheduler.
I don't know what would happen there and I expect noone's
tried it.

I wasn't real hopeful of anything in there being the cure,
but if you could reproduce the problem with a recent kernel,
it would save us tracking down a problem that was solved
long ago, even if then it wasn't showing the symptoms you've
got now.
