well.. let me try to rewrite it.
Now I'm trying to use the director as another ProxyCache ( REALSERVER ).

In the LVS terminology, we say: "the director" when we talk about 
the "balancer"
The "REALSERVER" is the host with the service being balanced.
So, my "REALSERVERS" are Proxy Caches ( using Squid )

The problem.. I like to do transparent proxying. I have around 200MB traffic I 
don't want to pass through a Linux Box. It's being routed with Ciscos 
Catalyst ( 6509 with routing module ). So, I need a way to inject that 
traffic into a Farm of Proxy Caches ( SQUID ). I have tested both WCCP and 
PBR ( Policy Based Routing ). I finally has used WCCP configured to inject 
the traffic a LVS Director ( L2 way as ip_vs DR does ). The LVS Director 
balance the Request into a set of Proxy Caches. 
As I'm using quite a big LVS Director, so I would like to use it as another 
Proxy Cache in the farm. The usual configuration of "ipvsadm -a -f 1 -r 
LOCAL_IP:0 -g" doesn't work for FWMARK method. At least, it doesn't work 
without using iproute2 for it.

Thx,
