and the short answer is yes, the Cisco Router makes dynamic arp caching, in
our case the Cisco Router are using the arp request sent by the Directors
machine to update the mac address of the vip in the router arp table, this
were happening because the arp request was being sent with VIP as the source
address of the arp request packet.

net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce and
net.ipv4.conf.bond0.arp_announce (bond0 is the interface in use) parameter
to value 2 in the /etc/sysctl.conf configuration file [1], this
configuration change the behaviour of all arp request sent by the machine,
the source ip address in the arp request is sent as the RIP instead of VIP,
in our case this prevent the Cisco Router to update VIP arp table entry.
Hi Antonio
Thanks for the update.
I don't understand the result of your cure. When the
router asks "who has VIP, tell router" what do the
realservers reply?
