I assume from your posting that you understand that this is
the reverse of the way LVS was designed to work. There's no
reason why your setup can't work. However if you're
balancing port 80, a proxy server is the usual device here.

In a standard LVS setup, the LANIP would be the VIP. I guess
it should be possible to use the WANIP as the VIP (the WANIP
would be the DIP in the standard LVS).

"came in" .. which direction is "in"? - from the internet or
from the client?

you have multiple WAN gateways?
