Well, this highly depends on the deployed architecture:
LVS_DR or LVS_NAT.

You mean you setup a filter on the realservers too?

I'm a little bit out of context, which setup are we talking about
LVS_DR or LVS_NAT? Anyways, the general approach should be:

1. policy DENY for all chains
2. enable service on chains for incoming and outgoing (consider
   the fact, that for example realservers never start with a SYN.
