I'm definitely not the person to reply to this one, but thought I'd
pop up since no-one has replied yet. Hopefully Julian,
Horms or Ratz will pop up and answer you. In the meantime read the HOWTO
about Julian's nfct patch to LVS (and the previous - antefacto - code 
that lead to it).

I would have thought you could get it to work in PREROUTING, but LVS
bypasses FORWARD, so rules in that chain won't work.

LVS doesn't use conntrack, it's too slow. However I don't know why you
can't get rules in PREROUTING to work
