I don't know how you can tell it's working unless you have two realservers

Well , I have already tested installation with 2 real servers 
... Balancing algorithm  is not the issue I wanted to point out here...

 
 
You can't use stateful filtering as the director doesn't see the reply packets

Does it mean that I am completely wrong when I try to do "high level" 
firewalling (open or close some ports) ? 

I 'd like to set up a very simple rule : allow only port 80 connections on my 
director for the VIP. 
Real IP of this server should  allow more things.  


Need to patch the kernel ?

I 've read the HOWTO, but not sure of response, especially for recent kernels.  


Many thanks ,
Yann

only add rules that work.

you can figure it out from the HOWTO. Sorry it's been so long since I wrote 
that stuff, and I don't use it myself, that I don't know the answer anymore
