there are other problems due to collisions within the logic 
of ip_vs() and netfilter, which are left over from the 
design of ip_vs(), which result in packets not getting 
through at all if you use the wrong iptables rules. For this 
reason we advise people not to use iptables rules (except 
for transparent proxy) until their LVS is running. These 
problems are in principle fixable, but no-one has taken the 
time to do this.
