I don't know a whole lot about ldirectord, but if it's 
running on the director, which has the VIP, it can't send a 
packet to the VIP and expect it to go to the realserver.
Thus you need a parallel service running on the RIP (or the 
service on the realserver bound to 0.0.0.0). You can get 
around this by doing an rsh/ssh request to the RIP and 
running a command to check the service running on the VIP.
