- NAT & connection tracking.
I need connection from loadbalancers to real servers to be snat'ed with
the IP of the external NIC of the LBs :

Clients ---+
           |
         +-+-+
        LB   LB
         +-+-+  <- SNAT / LB's eth1
           |
           +---+
           |   +- RS1
           |   +- RS2
Internet --+---+

Actually these connections "come" with Clients IP (quite normal) and
masquerading/snating do not work on LB... So I need to add static routes
for trafic from RS (http proxies) and for my proxies are double connected
to each LB, it is a real headache !
