OK, I'm using NAT based LVS right now for the company website.
Could someone explain to me how Direct routing works? (Is that for FOS
only or can it be used in LVS mode?) If I understand DR right, it takes
the incoming packet(s) and shunts them directly to servers on the backenbd
which ALSO have to have real FQIPs correct? If this is true, how is it
doing the routing BACK to the requesting client? How can one save state
information between the client and the responding server?


I have a few more questions but would like to discuss them privately so
the list doesn't go ballistic over alot of traffic.
