Thank you Sebastien, Thats right, the problem remains unsolved, I have opened a case with Redhat. And I have checked the network packets on the Test Client hosts, to verify that the Mac address of the Load Balancer/ VIP shows up rather than one of the Real Servers.

On your clients, check (arp -an) that the VIP is correctly associated to the MAC address of the load balancer.
