The problem is definitly only while connecting through LVS. One problem described in the modssl FAQ is about the SSL session cache. Maybe there is a bug in IE because every request is directed to a different realserver, but IE is relying on SSL session cache reuse like described in the FAQ. I don't know the details how SSL session cache is working - but provided that the connection is working fine when connecting directly, this might be the source.
