you need to do special things to get the realservers to be a client
in an LVS.
In this case, using Squid, you can do other clever things - as long as
you know where your virtual hosts are inside your platform (or can
determine this programatically) then Squid can run a "redirector"
script to send the requests directly to the virtual hosts.
That way if the squids need to request a page on a VIP which is on the
director you can "redirect" the request to a realserver without going
via the director at all.
