The problem with connecting to a VIP (ignoring for a moment the loopback case) is that the three-way TCP handshake can go wrong. The simplest way to make a realserver connect to a VIP (as configured in DNS) is to put the VIP on the realserver, so it always talks to itself. In LVS-DR, which I think you're using, this should already be the case anyway or the realservers won't reply to requests for the VIP.
