Not here.
We run all outbound mail plus various other services through a
Serveriron virtual server, even and using smail (a really crummy mailer
which we are soon to upgrade from) load on the real servers stays down
at 0.1 or thereabouts. That's with this configuration:
server real server-foo x.y.z.w
port dns
port radius-old
port smtp
port pop3
!
...
server virtual smtp x.y.z.q
sym-priority 100
port default disable
port pop3
port smtp
bind pop3 server-foo pop3 server-bar pop3 server-baz pop3
bind smtp server-foo smtp server-bar smtp server-baz smtp
!
In this configuration, server-foo, server-bar, and server-baz all
must be "behind" or directly attached to the Serveriron.
Try posting an excerpt of your configuration?

First, try disabling DSR - go for the simpler configuration and get
that working.
Second, try some different firmware versions - I have tried some that
just seem to break virtual servers altogether. I don't understand how
they could get it out past QC, but there have been some.
Still, I suspect you've made some mistake in the virtual server
configuration. Did you enable the "default port" mapping? That can
really screw things up unless you understand how to use it, because it
can end up breaking outgoing connections.
