Accessing lvs service from the NAT router

[Stephan Wonczak <Wonczak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  Hi list,
  recently (after some false starts) we successfully set up a LVS cluster
consisting of three machines (one nat router, two real servers).
Everything is working as expected, i.e. we can connect to the load
balanced web server just fine from any machine in our network... except
from one: the nat-router itself.
  Question: Is it possible to connect to a lvs service from the router?
Or if not, why? If it is not, the it would be wuite a showstopper for
the application we have in mind; the web server is just a test to verify
that our cluster is working correctly.
