I followed instructions from two sources 1) http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Virtual_Server_Administration/s2-lvs-direct-iptables-VSA.html
I updated iptables using the commands on this page. 2) http://ptylr.com/2013/05/01/configuring-lvs-piranha-on-centos-for-direct-routing/ This page had information on configuring lo:0 which was the final step that I needed to get LVS-DR to work. The setup this way had been working since last August. It is still working on one of the real servers but not on four other ones. Very odd.
