Hi,
Yes I think Cisco Local Director uses this. I was once trying to get LVS to
emulate this behavior so that I could transparently swap out the LD for the
Linux LVS box.
I was playing around with bridging and all that to try and get it to work.
I was never fully successful, please keep me posted if someone progresses with
this.
Thanks, Serge

I talked to Wensong about this in the early days of LVS, but I remember
thinking that keeping track of the CIP would have been a lot of work.
I think I mentioned it in the HOWTO for a while.
However I'd be happy to use the code if someone else wrote it :-)
Some commercial load balancers seem to have some NAT like scheme where
the packets can return directly to the CIP without going through the director.
Does anyone know how it works? (Actually I don't know whether it's NAT-like
or not, I think there's some scheme out there that isn't VS-DR which
returns packets directly from the realservers to the clients - this
is called "direct server return" in the commercial world).
