The above example is a combination of local
client and local real server and requires NAT due to
difference in ports. LocalNode was known as a method
that installs NULL transmitter, i.e. delivers the
traffic for VIP to the local stack without any
address/port manipulations.
The user visible changes from these patches
are as follows (2.6.37+):

This patch allows NAT/DR/TUN real servers
to fallback to local-RIP mode at any time. It can
happen if the real IP is added/removed from server
or even for complex setups with master and backup
where the backup is a real server in the master
and when backup takes control we must assume
local mode for the synced connections that have
BACKUP_IP as RIP. Note that every sync-ed connection
comes with its forwarding method.
Another addition is the ability to use
NAT method for local real server. Before now
it was only LocalNode possible. Now you can
translate to different address and port as the
above example for 127.0.0.1
Now when adding real server you can not
see type Local if the RIP is a local address.
The forwarding type remains as configured, so that it
can be synced. As result, DR and TUN can fallback
to the known LocalNode mode. OTOH, NAT has
the option to translate to different local IP
and port, i.e. it is not exactly the LocalNode
as we know it.

Now local client can work with NF conntracks.
To summarize, the rules are as before: if we
do not want translation we can use DR, if we require
translation we should use NAT.
