Thanks for your answer, but this is exactly what I want to avoid.
I want LVS to accept the IP packet, look at the header and decide  (here
goes the content scheduler) the destination server, do a routing based
on MAC address (not ip) and send the packet to the right server, after
this LVS will only serve to track the connection and as a  router
between the source and the server.
 
That's technically impossible, because the initial packet that triggers LVS is 
a mere TCP SYN packet. There is no Host: header sent over the wire until the 
TCP handshake is set up. 
LVS cannot make a decision what realserver to pick until the Host: header is 
there, but at that point it's already too late to start using direct routing.
 
Thank you very much, you are (unfortunatelly) very right.
