the ipvsadm output of ActiveConn etc, is a complete 
fabrication for LVS-DR and LVS-Tun. The director doesn't see 
the reply packets from the realservers and can't tell if the 
realserver drops the connection. The output from ipvsadm is 
guesses based on likely timeouts etc.

The numbers are there to tell if the machines are balanced
and are operating at all. If your setup isn't working the 
first thing we ask is for the output of `ipvsadm`.
