Someone mentioned bridging previously in connection with the problem 
of having the packets from the real-servers in VS-DR routing through the
director. 

I went and read all the notes/HOWTOs on bridging and I couldn't see 
whether it would work or not work with LVS. I didn't have time to try it out,
and have just kept it in the back of my mind ever since.
