Here is a summary of steps to configure real Windows 2000/2003 servers 
using Direct Routing with Ultramonkey:

1) Install the Microsoft Loopback Adapter
    Control Panel
    Add/Remove Hardware
    Add/Troubleshoot a device
    Add a new device
    No, I want to select the hardware from a list
    Network Adapters
    Manufacturers, Microsoft, Microsoft Loopback Adapter
    Finish

2) Configure TCP/IP properties
    Right click on the Loopback adapter, select Properties
    Deselect all checkboxes except Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
    Select Properties for TCP/IP
    IP address - same as the virtual IP on the load director(s)
    Subnet mask - 255.0.0.0
    Default gateway - blank
    DNS servers - blank
    Advanced, Interface Metric - 254
    If load balancing multiple IPs, additional these IP addresses here 
(again, each should match a VIP on load director)
    WINS - Disable Netbios over TCP/IP

3) Configure IIS
    Select Website Properties, Website tab
    Enter the real IP address of the server assigned for this website 
(not the VIP address)
    Advanced, Multiple identities for this website, Add
    Select the port and VIP assigned to the Loopback adapter, OK
    You should now see first the real IP then the virtual IP listed 
under multiple identities for this website
    Repeat under the Multiple SSL identities for this website if using SSL
