Where do you read that it is not supported? I remember reading something like that, but cannot find it in the RHCS manual. I have not set up Direct Routing in IPVS mysel, but this Red Hat Magazine Tips & Tricks
http://www.redhat.com/magazine/014dec05/departments/tips_tricks/ , second item, contains a nice writeup by Lon on how to do it. It does not say anything about being supported or not. 

I would contact Red Hat Global Support Services and ask if it is supported. The SLA for Cluster Suite does not go into that level of detail (even though it explicitly excludes manual fencing for production workloads):
