So I am curious if you have made the following changes to your real servers:
net.ipv4.conf.lo.arp_ignore=1
net.ipv4.conf.lo.arp_announce=2
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore=1
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce=2

What might be happening is lvs2 could be seeing the arp reply from the
servers for the VIP IP.  The above settings will prevent internal/inside
traffic from bypassing your LVS cluster etc.
