It looks like that lvs don´t recognize that one server is down an redirect all new connections to the other server. Is this a problem of the running version of lvs or maybe a setup problem?

If you're not running a healthcheck framework over the top of LVS, you
won't detect the failure. LVS itself only does load balancing - not
system monitoring.

You may want to use keepalived, ldirectord or some other consolidated
application that can manage your system for you both in terms of LVS
setup and server/service monitoring.
