LVS can't work with any NAT code in netfilter. Don't go in
production. You can feed two boxes with LVS for Linux 2.2! Don't search
for bugs in netfilter for this problem. You can still select NAT
forwarding method but without defining any iptables/ipchains rules. If
you don't load any netfilter modules LVS can handle successfully the
address translation. In the next LVS versions the things will change,
all we hope.
