You can nat the port as a separate entry with or without lvs.

I can't change the client's, My "Main" Firewall is not nating traffic
to the LVS box, the only NAT is in the LVS box.
To be more clear i don't have any problems with the ftp traffic, My
HTTPS traffic is problematic.
Sessions disconnects and timeouts, in those moments i'm seeing my
firewall dropping the reply packets from the "hidden" web servers,
since they use private ip's the LVS should automaticly NAT the reply
packet to the client.
since https is persistent and loading the ip_vs_ftp is (according to
the HOWTO) is problematic with persistent connection i think its this
ftp bug.

Can i nat ftp traffic on the LVS  for one of the web servers with
iptables and still load balance http+https traffic?
