I'm sure you understand this, but rewriting the previous sentence
the client sends a connect request to the VIP:port on the director which
is forwarded to the real-server, where the connect request is accepted.

are you asking if the LVS will still work if the director has an entry in
ipchains
which forwards (to another machine) connection requests addressed to VIP:port?
or are you asking what the director will do with a request to VIP:another_port
(where another_port=bgp port) when VIP:another_port is not in the ipvsadm table?
or something else?
