p.s.

you don't HAVE to have the nat set as the default gw you can avoid it if
you wish buy setting up

echo 80 lvs >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
ip route add default <lvs gw address> table lvs
ip rule add from <RIP address as known by lvs> table lvs

this says any traffic from the address the lvs woudl send to goes back
that way
