No answers to this problem? I can't be the first to experience it.....
I realized I didn't mention what distro i was using: All machines are
Debian Lenny (2.6.26-2 )
Balancers are 32bit, realservers are amd64.

The IPVS setup is through keepalived which is at version 1.1.15-1,
ipvsadm is at version 1:1.24-2.1

I'd really appreciate any help wtih this issue

Thanks
Pat
