in an LVS all traffic does in through the director so you will be limited to
the throughput of a single machine (you can failout this machine, but at
any one time you will only be using one machine). LVS balances services (ie
layer 4), Routers act at layer 3 and forward other protocols than IP
(eg NetBeui, IPX...) - an LVS director is not going to know what to do with
these.
Unless I misunderstand you, LVS is not going to do what you want.
