The Real Servers will have 20 Mbps and 30 Mbps outbound bandwidth. I'm
expecting the Linux director to handle 30-60k visits/day.

Since I'm planning to setup LVS using Direct Routing shouldn't all outbound
traffic go through the Real Servers leaving the 1Mbps Linux Director
bandwidth to handle incoming connections?

Thanks,

Antoni
