On further investigation, the behaviour is the same regardless of whether it
is a VIP or a real host. When a SYN_SENT state exists traffic doesn't flow.
However, if there is no state and an ACK (no SYN) packet arrives, an
ESTABLISHED entry is created such as:
ipv4 2 tcp 6 431996 ESTABLISHED src=192.168.0.104 dst=192.168.1.3
sport=20001 dport=80 packets=1 bytes=54 [UNREPLIED] src=192.168.1.3
dst=192.168.0.104 sport=80 dport=20001 packets=0 bytes=0 mark=0 use=1
After this the connection can complete normally. I wonder if this is not a bug
in conntrack handling? It doesn't seem right to me.
