lvs

Greetings,

We're trying to set up something here at work.
In comparison/contrast between commercial 
load-balance hardware appliance and lvs we have 
three quick questions:

1. can, under lvs, a load-balancer load balance 
systems outside of its subnet?

2. does lvs system need to act as a 
gateway for systems it load balances?


3. do you think lvs does a pretty good 
job (robustness+feature) in terms of 
session persistency?


Thanks for helping us,
Farid
