The real key to LVS-NAT is to *not* run NAT rules on /any/ traffic that travels 
through LVS. That will avoid any bug I've ever encountered. If you must, then 
just run the NFCT patch.

What are your problems with LVS-DR? Are there bugs filed, etc? I'm sure if 
there's a sysstemic problem that the devs will want to resolve it asap.
