The size isn't likely the problem. When looking through your trace, I see that the "protocol" field in the "virtual_server" structure being returned in the result array is empty. In a response from my system I get the value of "PROTOCOL_ANY" returned.

I looked trough the sources and in 10.0 this value was omitted in the response generation but it was fixed in 10.1 and above. This very likely could be your problem. I don't have a way to test this as I don't have access to a 10.0 build, but I'm fairly confident that upgrading to 10.1 or above will fix your issue with this method.
