Voila.

Your realservers are responding direct to the client, and not via the 
director. In a NAT system this causes the 3-way handshake to fail, thus 
the client connections break.

There are several ways to get around it, but the easiest way is to 
remove the route to the subnet from your realservers which forces them 
to send all their traffic via their default gateway (which whould be the 
director).

If your realservers, director and clients are all on a /24 network of 
192.168.1.0/24, then do this on the realservers (preferably on the 
console to save arm-chopping-off problems)...

route delete -net 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 (assuming only one network card).

Making sure, firstly, that they do have a default gateway!
