Generally speaking you can have neftfilter rules in place.
One of the cood things about having LVS where it is (LOCAL IN)
is that a lot of the netfilter hooks get passed through
on a packets journey to LVS. I must confess that I have not
played with this heavily but isn't the main problem that
you can't use connection tracking because LVS does its own.
Isn't this the problem that the antefacto patches address?
