It accepts all HTTP follow-ups without SYN, which potentially includes
malformed and malicious packets.
You can probably filter out a few of those with '-m state --state INVALID -j
DROP', but not all of it.
Either way, it's the best you can get in this setup, and it's still (slightly)
better than good old ipchains, which already was quite reasonable.
And since there's a whole cluster behind your LVS box I take it that you also
have a frontend dedicated firewall BEFORE the LVS machine that is able to do
the full stateful inspection? :-)
