I think LVS uses the INPUT and OUTPUT chain rather than FORWARD
which is why its not recommended to be used as a firewall as well.

I could be wrong as usual.....

Hi guys,

I am running LVS with NAT setup (kernel 2.4.27) and have noticed a
serious problem (with how it works with Netfilter) which I wanted to
know if really is a bug - or "feature"?

What I've noticed, is that when I get requests to my virtual addresses -
it forwards these to the realservers - but appereantly the request is
NOT added to the Netfilter ESTABLISHED table - so the response from the
realserver is not allowed out - unless I specificly allow everything out
from the realservers service-ports (http and https in this case) :(

Am I just mistaken, in thinking a connection established from the
outside should be added to the LVS (with the "by LVS" rewritten
address), so it will match an ESTABLISHED on the way out?

Thank you in advance
