realservers are my XMPP servers, other XMPP servers are 3rd party machines
on the
internet. I need to initate connections from my realservers to them.
Configuration is similar to FTP in active mode but incoming and outgoing
connections don't need to be on the same realserver (so persistence mode is
not needed)

I though about that:
{ CLIENTS } { OTHER SERVERS }
| | |
| (INCOMING)| |
LVS--------/ (OUTGOING CONNECTIONS)
/ /
|-REALSERVER 1--|
| |
|-REALSERVER 2--|
| |
|-REALSERVER N--|
- CLIENTS are on the internet and balanced across realservers.
- OTHER SERVERS are also on the internet and their incoming connection are
balanced across realservers
- realservers can initiate connections to other servers on the internet
- connection coming from OTHER SERVERS and connections initated by
realservers has nothing to each other (f.i. incoming connection is on
REALSERVER 1 while outgoing is on REALSERVER 2)
LVS will have one public IP and all incoming connections will go through it;
each realserver should have its own public IP for initating outgoing
connections.
Is this ok?
TIA.
