Do you mean that the client first tries to connect to the load-balancer,
then the load-balancer migrates the connection to the real server, finally
the client interact with the real server without the load-balancer?
I think it is not easy to implement it in IPv4, because IP addresses are
static in a connection, then there will be two connections, one is the
connection between the client and the load-balancer, the other is the
connection between the client and the real server, the overhead will be high.
Maybe it can be easy to implement it in IPv6. But, I don't know much about
IPv6, I need time to study it. :-)
