They're Windows machines; you'll need to install the "Microsoft Loopback Adapter" via the "Add Hardware" wizard. You then configure that with the VIP and ensure that it has a /32 (255.255.255.255) netmask, either in the settings (Server 2008 allows this I believe) or via the Registry (you'll have to Google for that one). The reason for this is that IPVS is a router - it shovels packets around unaltered unless you use NAT in which case the destination IP is altered on the way to the realserver, and the source IP is altered on the way back to the client. In DR mode all it's doing is handing off packets to a "next hop" - if that next hop doesn't know what to do with them, they'll get dropped. Good luck!
