Thanks for the response but my problem goes on. I've made several
tests and changed configurations and my situation is this:

1. LVS1 acts as a director and LVS2 acts as a real-server.
2. LVS1 iptables marks packets.
3. I've changed that LVS1 don't capture those packets.
4. LVS2 captures packets with that dst_port.
5. LVS2 doesn't have any ipvs rule
6. No packets at all arrive to LVS.
7. LVS1 doesn't forward packets to LVS2.
8. As LVS1 is a bridge (br0), it forwards the packets through the DSL
router and everything works fine (but it doesn't capture the packets).
9. If I make LVS capture the packets (iptables ...-j REDIRECT
--to-ports...), then "ipvsadm -l" shows an innactive connection
towards LVS.
10. LVS2 sees packets with src_ip=CIP and dst_ip=LVS1.
11. LVS1 sees packets like these:
  11:35:52.689019 IP 192.168.5.221 > 192.168.5.247: icmp 68: time
exceeded in-transit
  11:35:57.680777 arp who-has 192.168.5.221 tell 192.168.5.111
  11:35:57.680863 arp reply 192.168.5.221 is-at 00:0c:76:f4:d6:af

I still don't understand what's happenning, but I think it may be
something related to bridge.

Any hint?
