Is --persistent set by default?

Setup:  SuSE 9.3  ipvsadm v1.24

We're doing testing on a single virtual server that distributes
transactions to 4 real servers.

omares-loadbal1:~ # ipvsadm -S -n

-A -t 10.0.33.120:9314 -s rr
-a -t 10.0.33.120:9314 -r 10.0.37.139:9314 -m -w 1
-a -t 10.0.33.120:9314 -r 10.0.37.138:9314 -m -w 1
-a -t 10.0.33.120:9314 -r 10.0.37.137:9314 -m -w 1
-a -t 10.0.33.120:9314 -r 10.0.37.136:9314 -m -w 1

What we're expecting to happen:

When we fire off 20 transactions, we expect them to be evenly
distributed among the 4 real servers.  Each transaction opens and closes
a connection to the real server.

What's actually happening:

All twenty transactions are being sent to a single server.  If we fire
off another 20, those are sent to the second server.  

We're thinking that we should follow one of two courses: 
1) Change to least connection scheduling
2) Set --persistence to zero. 

We're wondering whether --persistent is set by default, which might
explain the behavior we are seeing now.
