Hmmm.. this sounds like an interesting suggestion, one I thought
*should* be possible. Alas, I am not proficient enough (yet) to fiddle
around with iptables. As our service needs to go into production 'real
soon now' (TM) I don't have the time to investigate this further at this
point, but I intend to do so in the future. If I somehow get it to work, I
will post to this list.

Um, no. I want to connect to VIP:service from the director, not from one
of the realnodes (for direct access *between* the realnodes I have set up
a 'private private' network on different physical nics, which is *not*
routed by the director.)

Anyway, thanks for your suggestions, I will look into it in the nearer
future.
