Current LVS-NAT goes something like:
PREROUTING client => VIP
LOCAL_IN client => VIP
LVS in hook
LOCAL_OUT client => RIP
POSTROUTING client => RIP
With my patch it goes like:
PREROUTING client => VIP
FORWARD client => VIP
POSTROUTING client => VIP
LVS hook
POSTROUTING client => RIP
LVS-DR is pretty much the same flow except that the packet's MAC destination
is changed instead. What I mean with netfilter only seeing the VIP is that
I'd like the second POSTROUTING run that happens with my patch to not happen.
Doing so makes rule writing on the director a little easier as the rules
don't need to know about the RIPs at all.
The configuration I'm planning to use is a LVS-NAT director/firewall that
allows external traffic to VIPs, SNATs traffic from RIPs to external
(including to VIPs) and drops everything else.
With LVS-DR, I am pretty sure that all the issues mentioned in the page you
linked to still apply as my patch only changes the flow through the director.
The rules mentioned in the following link would be needed whether the
SERVER_GW is separate device to the director or not.
