did further testing, indeed the the NAT mode has nothing to do with
the iptable firewall mark setting, I made it working by comment out
the vsftpd.conf configuration
#pasv_address=192.168.1.169
originally I had the pasv_address pointed to VIP 192.168.1.169,
commented that line made the ftp virtual server work for passive ftp,
reading the code in ip_vs_ftp.c, it will replace original "227
Entering Passive Mode (xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,ppp,ppp) " from real server
with "227 Entering Passive Mode (yyy,yyy,yyy,yyy,ppp,ppp)", which xxx
is octet of RIP and yyy is octet of VIP, so "pasv_address =
192.168.1.169" is not nessary, but still I don't understand why
configuring the unneeded pasv_address config would break virtual ftp
server passive mode.
