I do consider this a bug BTW - for LVS/DR's VIP, this check should be
disabled.
Even when you use the LVS as a router, DR may be desireable as opposed to NAT.
And the bug is non-obvious to new users.
Unfortunately, my kernel hacking abilities don't go this far, I could only
remove the check completely, but I think it would be much cleaner to
specifically allow this for the VIPs only.
