I'm going to clarify a few points, as John's summary sometimes
reference things that are specific to our configuration, which may
confuse people.
All these points are actually irrelevant to the problem, but might
confuse those not familiar with our setup.

They go to zero because the monitor running now fails, and sets the
weight to zero.

We add a localhost entry when all realservers have failed, as we might
as well do *something*. This is just a last ditch attempt to not drop
packets. It is tied to our monitoring; not a ipvs specific thing.

"Removing the administrative block" here means to allow our checking
system to change the weight up to something like 250.
