Hi Joe, Thanks for the reply.
I'm pretty certain that you can get LVS-DR to work on all Linux kernels for real servers (their are some issues with doing it on a director) but just receiving the packets via loopback using either hidden (if patched 2.4) or arpignore (2.6) or iptables REDIRECT (always works all kernels) Tried using a different interface but Windows disables the adapter if it has no link (clever). I will keep playing with settings.
