LVS-NAT

[Gustavo Mateus]

Hello,

Probably this issue was already discussed here but I did not find the 
messages related.

I'm creating a Active-Active structure to host several virtual servers 
with 2 directors. About 40 to 50 real servers will be connected to this 
2 directors.
The idea is to use those guys as firewalls too, statefull, for common 
services (80, 443, 21, 25).
Because of that we need to use LVS-NAT for our load balancing solution.

My questions are:
- LVS-NAT can handle 50 servers?
- Is it ok to use the director as a firewall too?

The directors are very good servers - Dell pe1950 Intel Xeon  5110 Dual 
Core de 1.60 Ghz with 2 GB of ram ( we still have the possibility to put 
one more processor on each director)

Thanks,

Gustavo
