following up on Graeme's suggestion (if it turns out not to 
be a problem with the internet)...

turn the director into a passthrough router to one 
realserver (turn ip_forward on, take down the VIP, have the 
director advertise a route to the VIP eg use a host route). 
That way you'll have the director hardware, cables in the 
packet path. (I'm assuming the direct path 
client<->realserver is OK, since direct connection to the 
realserver has no problems).

is it with all realservers?
