I think I got it, by thinking a bit more clearly and watching my
ipchains filter with more logging enabled.
For my setup of a not-loadbalanced ftp-proxy service on LVS-NAT,
no entry in ipvsadm is needed.
Everything is handled by ftp-proxy on the director.
I report it to the list because others may have the same problem,
to set up an ftp proxy on a LVS system.
Configuration details:
in ftp-proxy.conf the only lines uncommented are:
DestinationAddress 10.1.1.1
DestinationPort 21
Listen 195.49.62.59
PassiveMinDataPort 41000
PassiveMaxDataPort 41999
in my ipchains ruleset I have:
# allow incoming ftp command connections on VIP
-A input -j ACCEPT -i eth1 -p tcp -s ${ALL} $NPORTS -d ${VIP} 21 $L
# data connections in active mode
-A input -j ACCEPT -i eth1 -p tcp -s ${ALL} $NPORTS -d ${VIP} 20 $L
# allow data connections in passive mode
-A input -j ACCEPT -i eth1 -p tcp -s ${ALL} $NPORTS -d ${VIP}
${FTP_PORTS} $L
where
FTP_PORTS="41000:41999"
NPORTS="1024:65535"
ALL=0/0
VIP=195.49.62.59
