I take it the problem here is that your Real Servers are
using the Linux-Director/Firewall as the default gatway.
This works wonderfully with NAT, and is actually a requirement,
but for DR the return packets are discarded by the
Linux-Director/Firewall as they look like martians (packets sent
from the Linux-Director/Firewall via the Linux-Director/Firewall).
Try looking in the HOWTO for some info on martians.
I have never had much success with this myself,
but I believe that it can be made to work.
