We typically set up LVS load balancers to use LVS NAT -- in other words,
setting up the load balancer as the default gateway for (at least) the web
servers being load-balanced. On the load balancer, that means:
[1] Enabling ip_forward
[2] Using 'masq' in ldirectord.cf, e.g.,
virtual=public-address:80
real=app1:80 masq
real=app2:80 masq
# etc.
#fallback=127.0.0.1:80 gate
service=http
request="ldirector.html"
receive="Test Page"
scheduler=wlc
protocol=tcp
checktype=negotiate
On the app servers, that means setting the load balancer as the default gateway.
