I have got it set up using direct routing.
The connections where the user is viewing the content is ok as the traffic
through the the LVS is only small packets and the big video packets are
going out directly from the real servers. When the connection is a
broadcasting connection, all the video packets are incoming so go through
the LVS to the real servers. It is these connections that I would like to
hand off completely.
I can set up the media servers to do a redirect. This is how I had the
servers set up originally. One server was acting as a load balancer and
redirecting the viewers to the other servers but the problem is that most of
the encoders that are used for broadcasting cannot handle the redirect.

Roger,
The best method is to use Direct Routing which reduces the load on LVS
by about 50x for streaming media.
Or get your app server to do a re-direct after the first connection
(but then you loose all the advantages of a load balancer).
