I assume you want the director to be the bridge.

I've sure thought about it a lot as a way of getting packets
between the realservers and the outside world without the director
seeing them. I talked to Horms about it 
at OLS and he said that the director still sees all the packets
that are being bridged, so you don't bypass any rules, filter etc.

The 2.4 NAT is as fast as VS-DR now according to Julian (unlike
the 2.0 or 2.2 VS-NAT). 

As well services not under control of the LVS can get out from
the realservers, eg you can telnet from the realservers to the
outside world setting up separate masq tables on the director.

WHat are you trying to do?
