After some thought, lots of reading, I released that IPVS and TCPVS are what is 
needed to implement a load balancing firewall.


Example load balancing firewall

            |---------|--dsl1----            
            |load     |        
            |balacing |--dsl2---- internet servers
clients ----|firewall |                     
            |---------|--dsl3----
private net


To me this is not very different from a LVS gateway
                      
            |---------|--server 1----            
            |load     |        
            |balacing |--server 2---- 
clients ----|firewall |                     
            |---------|--server 3----

internet                private net


- I am currently looking into what if any changes are required to enable 
me to use the lvs gateway as part of a load balacing firewall.

Any thoughts on this idea.
