Those addresses are there so that I can reach the realservers from outside
of the network instead of ssh'ing from the director.  :)

Oh...  Ok.  Sorry, as a first-timer, I couldn't figure out how else to do
it.  :)  I found, however, that I can just do this to do the same thing:

realserver1# ifconfig lo -arp

And that turns it off, as you can see:
realserver1# ifconfig lo:0
lo:0      Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:8.2.119.227  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING NOARP  MTU:16436  Metric:1

Yeah, the private network isn't routable from/to the outside...

Basically, the telnet client (or http client) just hangs, and then finally
times out.

I did, yes.  :)  And that's when I finally threw up my hands and figured I'd
take it to the mailing lists.  :)

I actually changed things a bit and got it to work, but it won't work using
the private IP addresses...  ?  It works using the public IP addresses
(x.2.119.y) addresses on the servers.
