Using LVS to replace Netscaler Load Balancer

[Bill Omer]

In my setup, I'm not adding the VIP to the reals at all.  That, IMHO,
is not a disarable form of operation, at least in my enviroment.
Using a simple 2 line iptables script does exactly what I need it to
do.  I highly suggest you test LVS-DR with iptable rules on the reals.
