Let's see - you have one LVS all in one spot; you have 
clients at several sites; clients at two sites are producing 
the fin_wait problem - these two sites have cisco gear (or 
have something other than cicso gear - I can't tell which 
from the posting); clients elsewhere are not having 
problems.

If so, thanks to manufacturer's of hardware that 
deliberately breaks the IETF protocols (in order to better 
serve you) we have a special section of the HOWTO -

Yours is a new problem, I'm sorry to say. Hope you can find 
a solution. Let us know how you handle it
