The advantages of NAT are that it doesn't require any special settings
(e.g. arp suppression on the application servers), that you can
reconfigure which virtual ip is associated with a back-end server
by modifying the director alone and that it's easier to do connection
tracking. The main disadvantage is that all traffic goes through the
director, making the director a potential bottleneck.
