I figured this one out by looking at the source and it tested fine too. The
virtual server must be fwmark and the sysctl ip.vs.cache_bypass must be set
to 1. With those settings, the packet is passed when there are no real
servers available rather than being rejected with ICMP_PORT_UNREACH.

The dst_output specified to NF_HOOK_THRESH is called after nf_iterate() is
finished. dst_output then calls NF_HOOK_THRESH with POST_ROUTING again
passing the result to an internal function to actually send the packet out.
There's no way around it except perhaps with an NF_STOP hook. I'd like to
figure out how traffic (congestion) control fits in first though.

I tried again with the accept rule as:
iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -p tcp -d 192.168.0.7 --dport 21 -i eth0 -j
ACCEPT
However, it still worked fine in both passive and active modes. The patch
series I posted may make it clear, but the way I visualize what's happening
is that there are two proxies between the client and the server. Something
like: client => DNAT => LVS => server. DNAT and LVS are unaware of each
other's existence, but there is no problems because the order of processing
make it transparent.
