I think this is what F5 calls SNAT mode (which confuses LVS people),
it's really nifty and flexible
and I don't see why it can't be done at layer 4 with LVS...
But LVS would need to be moved to the Forward chain rather than the
INPUT one.
Pretty similar to LVS-NAT so not really a proxy (it's not looking at the
packet contents)
I think it would be a massive improvement.. I'd even consider sponsoring
someone to do it?
F5 will also check the response of the real server and if it fails
re-send the commands from the cache to another server...
nice but definitely layer7 proxy stuff...
Regards,
Malcolm.
