        Yes, because only the NAT mode alters addresses/ports
in the packet. All other 3 methods don't change them
nor localnode performs port redirection like the ipchains
redirection. For LocalNode LVS just passes the packet to
the upper layers, without change.

        What I saw in your previous posting looks like a
problem: ipvsadm allows real server with localnode method
to have port different from the virtual server's port.

        Hm, I assume that it should work with binding to ANY or
with VIP.

        I assume your service is listening correctly on
.156:112 or I'm missing something?

        With localnode this real server can run only on the VIP/ANY:VPORT.
