Nice.  This about does the trick on the realservers:

iptables - A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 113 -j REJECT

One last question, the above command reduces the wait to 3 seconds as  
opposed to 30 seconds.  However it also increases the delay of rshing  
to the RIP from 0 to 3 seconds.  Is there any way to further tune the  
command?

Thanks.
