It's not true. Where do I say this and I'll fix it :-)
All of the forwarding methods are equally good.

LVS-NAT was the first forwarder written and it got most of the
early attention. There is no arp problem with LVS-NAT. However
service have to run on the RIP rather than the VIP. With
LVS-DR, the service runs on the VIP but you have to handle
the arp problem
