(I don't know much about this)
one of the problems with having the accel card on the director
is that the output goes into the ip_tables OUTPUT chain,
whereas if we want the director to grab it, it has to go
into the INPUT chain (again). This is what I was asking
Julian.
Presumably you'd have to separate these functions into
separate boxes?
