Actually, on reflection I am not sure that it will work as
the Linux Director won't know anything about a connection
that was intialiased by the Real Server, and thus will
close the connection with the return packet comes in,
regardless of persistancy settings.
Of course it would work just fine in an LVS-NAT situation :)
