Your problem was having the two machines that are the target of the
load-balancing be able to talk to one another without interference,
correct?

To do that, put in a second ethernet interfaces, *on a separate private
network than the one behind the load balancer*, and you might have to
play hosts-file name games to force the traffic to use that link.

Sorry I wasn't sufficiently clear the first go-round.
