Hi Joe,
I don't think that is the case. Even when you use LVS-NAT
the source IP address of the packets is that of the end-user.
(Actually, I used to think this was the case, but I have
subsequently convinced myself otherwise)
That asside, this conversation started as a discussion of
persistance templetes. LVS does not use the source port at all
in persistance templates. In fact it is set to 0 internally
so LVS can differentiate between a persistance template and
a connection entry.
