Ok, I'm a lame-o, but I'm stuck...

I have a HP Switch (224T), and I have an IP block that I have subnetted as
follows:

10.10.138.192, netmask 255.255.255.240
10.10.138.208, netmask 255.255.255.240
10.10.138.224, netmask 255.255.255.224

Here's my problem -- 

I have my router at 10.10.130.221, and my switch at 10.10.130.220.  I have
my switch set up as follows:

   10.10.138.220, Netmask 255.255.255.240

I have my web server at 10.10.138.209 and 10.10.138.210, and my switch is
in the same subnet...

My problem is when I try to create a virtual IP based host in the next
subnet, 10.10.138.224, Netmask 255.255.255.224, let's say with an IP
address of 10.10.138.227.  My switch won't route to it (of course), and if
you do a traceroute from the outside to one of the virtuals IP addresses,
it comes in over the frame relay, hits our router, and then loops back
around again and again...

I don't know how to get more than one subnet routed to my virtuals, over my
switch... I know it's a basic and probably pretty lame problem, but hey,
it's my problem thank you very much <g>...  I've read and read, and can't
find the answer <shrug>

Here's a visual of it as I see it...


     [  Serial 0   ]
     [10.10.138.134]

    [  cisco 2514   ]

    [255.255.255.240]

    [HP 224T Switch ]
    | 10.10.138.220 |-----------------+
    [255.255.255.240]                 |
          |                           |
          |                           |
    [  Web Servers  ]        [  Virtual Web Server IP Block ]
    | 10.10.138.210 |        | 10.10.138.225 - 10.10.138.253|
    [255.255.255.240]        [   Netmask: 255.255.255.224   ]


An outside request to our server will not make it to any server in our
virtual web server IP block -- How do I get my switch to allow traffic to
the Virtual IP block?  Is it in the router?  

Thanks for taking pity on me -- ;^/
