on the realserver the service is listening on the VIP (as it must, because that's where the client sent the packet). The realserver replies from the VIP. The packet goes back to the client. The RIP is needed so that the director can find its MAC address and send a layer 2 packet from MAC_DIP->MAC_RIP.
