Liu,
Yes, David is right it is working as expected Full-NAT i.e. source IP
transparent.
If you want the real servers/backend servers to have Internet access
as well then you will need an iptables masquerade rule or something
similar for the outgoing traffic.
LVS Half-Nat or SNAT is in mainline kernel, the old way of patching is
described here:
http://blog.loadbalancer.org/enabling-snat-in-lvs-xt_ipvs-and-iptables/
But to be honest if you want SNAT/proxy you'd be better off using
HAProxy which is well tested for that purpose...
