And my problem is "how the packet goes back to the client".

I guess, i have become totally offtopic. Since it is a routing problem,
which has come up with using LVS-DR:

- CIP is "1.2.3.4"
- RIP on realserver is "192.168.1.2", default gw is "192.168.1.1"
- realservers answers to client by sending packet "VIP -> CIP" to gateway
- gateway must be enabled to forward "VIP -> CIP" to the next
gateway, which is responsible for "CIP".

Right now this gateway just does NAT. I have no new rule for this above yet. 

The rule for the gateway must be something like:

- When traffic on eth0 and ip-src is "VIP", then forward to "internet
gateway" on eth1

I think thats the result of all the lines. :-)
