That's what I'm not sure of. It seems so, however the clients cannot
route to the real servers on their own, so the packets must be somehow
going around the lvs stuff. I think it's a FWM issue too. I'll need to
do some more captures to understand what port ranges are being used.

that it's not used anymore. the RS and client must negotiate another
port to use. I'll do more experimenting on this.

yep. I think you're right. I'll send my ipvsadm and iptables files your
way for perusal.
