I'll try to send you a better and finer description of what I want my LVS
to do. I may have been confusing in my first post.
I think I may have a routing problem more than just a LVS one (or maybe
two problems with both routing & LVS settings...).
My LVS is between my local LAN and Internet, all traffic should go in and
back through it, with two boxes, set as local LAN gateway, just acting as
loadbalancers (with fwmark so IP traffic arrives to the Firewall -
"realservers" - "as is", ie with clients IPs and Dest. IP unchanged).
