only RH that I've heard of. (It could be in all of them for all I know.)

I found two postings in this thread. There were about the inability
of iptables-1.2.7a to parse a previously working set of arguments
(which included -j REDIRECT).
Neither was about the functionality of Horms Method (using transparent
proxy with LVS) that I could see.

it was Horms first use of transparent proxy for LVS. You can read how
it was used in the HOWTO
