Ok, I just found this document:
http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.filter_rules.html

I think I understand the problem more clearly now.

The PREROUTING table comes before the LVS hooks in the LOCAL_IN table so I 
cannot determine at PREROUTING time that packets are going to go to the 
localnode or not.

So at this time, I guess I have two possible courses of action?  Try and find a 
way for local_node to work without a REDIRECT rule in the PREROUTING table.  
Perhaps LVS can do the REDIRECT?  

Or is it possible for LVS to "undo" whatever munging is happening in the 
PREROUTING table?  I don't even understand while a REDIRECT rule in the 
PREROUTING table is breaking LVS.  

I guess I'll research some more, if anybody has a workaround for using 
localnode with transparent proxy please let me know.

Subject: [lvs-users] Transparent proxy with Locanode
 
Hey everybody.  I'm using the ip policy hack to get transparent proxy going 
like this:

ip rule add prio 100 fwmark 1 table 100
ip route add local 0/0 dev lo table 100

That redirects packets that I've marked with fwmark 1 into the "local" machine 
so that lvs will see them.

This is all working, I can distribute incomming connections to realservers, 
however, I run into problems when I try to use the localnode feature.

If I have 
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -s 10.0.0.1/8 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT 
--to-port 8080
in my PREROUTING table so that the local machine can intercept, connections 
routed to the local node work and connections routed to the other peers fail, 
if I delete the rule connections to the local node fail and connections to the 
remote hosts work.

Any ideas?  Can I tell the connections apart in iptables so that I can create a 
rule to skip the redirect for packets leaving for other realservers?  Can I get 
lvs to bypass PREROUTING for packets going out?

David
