Which makes me wonder - would there be any advantage to
creating an indirect route (IDR) mode where the realserver

It's available if you want it (the forward_shared patches).

you throw away much of the security advantages of LVS-DR
http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.LVS-DR.html#Pearthree
to use it.
Of course, that removes the bandwith advantage that DR
mode has and pretty much makes it NAT without the address
translation.
I haven't seen any numbers, but since LVS was rewritten for
2.4 kernels, Julian assures us that LVS-NAT is just as fast
as LVS-DR.
