Did you ever find an answer to this issue? We're seeing something similar.

We bind the VIP on the linux hosts loopback interface. The request arrives to the real server, however the return packet from the real server specifies the real servers IP versus the VIP/Loopback ip.

    Hello Paul!

     

    Unfortunately I didn't. The only way this worked was the VIP and realserver IP being on the same network.

     

    And I don't know if I was missing something aswell.

     

    Best of luck. Rafael
