nice ascii diagram :-)

Not sure what you're doing yet. I take it that your clients 
are out on the internet. Are the 1.1.2.x machines routers?
Why are you SNAT'ing on the outside of the director? Why do 
you want to fiddle with the routing of outgoing packets - 
are the routing tables not doing what you want?

Do you know about the -SH scheduler?
