It should work like below:

initiated connection.

doesn't work with LVS. The director has to see an (incoming) SYN to know that is has to handle a new connection.

- Connection is established between exactly the same endpoints.

Is this possible? Or how?

Presumably you could do this using iproute2, but it wouldn't be load balancing. What you've done is separate the outward and inward paths.
