The setup is almost like you described, except the socks servers are all running on my machine on different ports and each server maps to a tunnel which is connected to the hosts A, B and C. LVS looks like a complicated solution. Is all that necessary in case all the socks servers are running on the same machine, just on different ports? and, isnt it possible to map an ssh tunnel to a network interface? that way we could use the kernel's default load balancing functionality.
