Our management system pings devices to verify they are active. The VIP often drops pings (mostly in the morning) and then recovers after a few minutes. The web load balancing never stops and the services are always active. The real addresses on the CSS never drop pings.

Both TAC and local Cisco people have told us that VIPs do not reliably respond to ICMP, which is exactly what you describe.
If I were you, try to change your test so that it executes a script (perl maybe) that does a tcp connection rather than relying on icmp.
Good luck,
Dennis

Hi - to go around you can use a more simple thing. snmp monitoring is a better way to monitor your css if scripts are not handy enough.
