thanks Mack & Sameer,

I was starting to think LVS-NAT was the route to go. Mack, I setup a
vmware demo of what I wanted, and things worked fine: well except that
the IP's were different, and that the web servers were connected via
vpn. So, Sameer: yea it makes sense about the rewrites... SO, NAT is
what i'll try, BUT, you did indicate tunnel.

And well here's the thing, I'm really interested in LVS-TUN, but, I
might have a problem with the web servers sending data directly TO the
client. Doing it this way, exposes the webservers location.

I have a firewall setup specifically for this reason: site-to-site VPN
connection to 2 web servers at 2 geographically different locations.

My understanding is that ip tunneling will be private, BUT, the data
that leaves the web servers don't go back to the Load Balancer as the
GW, but to the client.. which is what I can't have.

I hope this makes sense?

btw, what is: "DIP" for LVS-NAT, and ingress filtering?

I  made sure, that iptables were turned off...

Thanks so much for your help.

will
