Sorry, must be going insane with all the reading that I've been doing on
LVS.

I should have said "Number of real servers".
In the Mini-howto LVS-Nat is low and DR/TUN are high.

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
