Yes, you need to set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/vs/expire_quiescent_template to a

Thank for the hint, I have found where the setting is explained in detail.

I understand that with this sysctl no new connections will get forwarded to
the real server. Even ones that previously were assigned to the server via
persistence mechanism.
One thing is still not clear to me: if I set this sysctl to 1 and set weight
of a real server to 0, will the already established connections to the
server get broken?
