Hmm. Very interesting. Thank you very much. 

Can I take from this that kernel based SNAT is somehow better for lots of
concurrent connections? I did see loadbalancer.org use HA proxy - I'd looked
into this previously, but there was something about it that seemed
inelegant.

I guess I should have a play with both.

Nick,

The SNAT support should work fine for all recent v3 kernels... or 2.6.36
(only).

However I would expect that most people use HAProxy for SNAT mode as long as
its not a huge number of concurrent connections 100K+.
We use LVS for DR or NAT and HAProxy for SNAT mode on Loadbalancer.org
appliances and have found it very fast and reliable.
Pretty sure Barracuda does the same as us and Kemp use LVS + a proprietary
software proxy they bought ages ago from an old German load balancer vendor.
