do you have /32 on the VIP on the director and realservers?
(you probably do or it wouldn't work).

I'm pretty sure this is the linux spec. The two NICs on the 
director can both answer to the VIP and which you get will
depend on a whole lot of things you can't control.
It would be simpler to have just one NIC with the VIP and
unplug the other one (or put it on and administrative 
network)

it's not breaking anything? If not you can leave it alone.
