Those conditions being that you know the application(s) being used and
are able to put some sort of application-layer proxy in the way, then
make LVS load-balance to that. This, regardless of which "way round" it
appears, is still fairly simple application-level load balancing.

AIUI the OP wanted something for "generic" traffic (Greg, correct this
if I'm wrong!) - and that simply isn't possible, unless you've magicked
a SOCKS proxy that understands, well, every application and protocol in
the Universe ;-)
