I'm confused. You have a client on the realserver that you
want to initiate connections from the VIP and not from the

Yes, exactly.
ah.
If I send a mail from a realserver to my gmail account, it have the source
address of the loadbalancer.
because you are NAT'ing through the director.
I would like it to have the source address of the Virtual Server.
the VIP.
Let's say you figure out how to do this, and you send a SYN
to a machine on the internet. There are lots of ways this
could fail. Here's one: The reply SYN/ACK packet from the
machine on the internet will arrive at the director. The
director will look up its TCPIP tables and not having any
record of sending a SYN to this machine, will send a RESET.
The HOWTO talks about clients on the realservers connecting to the
internet. eg
