LVS-NAT + SNAT is it impossible?

[malcolm]

I think this is what F5 calls SNAT mode (which confuses LVS people), 
it's really nifty and flexible
and I don't see why it can't be done at layer 4 with LVS...
But LVS would need to be moved to the Forward chain rather than the 
INPUT one.
Pretty similar to LVS-NAT so not really a proxy (it's not looking at the 
packet contents)
I think it would be a massive improvement.. I'd even consider sponsoring 
someone to do it?

F5 will also check the response of the real server and if it fails 
re-send the commands from the cache to another server...
nice but definitely layer7 proxy stuff...

Regards,
Malcolm.
