Hi,
I'm still stuck trying to get IPVS/NAT to work together with Netfilter
conntrack/Netfilter SNAT. First, I removed the Netfilter hook function
in IPVS that prevented further processing in POSTROUTING. Then, I made
IPVS reflect its own DNAT changes in the skb->nfct tuples just before
IPVS injects the packet back into LOCAL_OUT:

======================
The Netfilter SNAT rule is simply:
$ iptables -t -nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j SNAT -to <director IP>
The SYN and SYN/ACK packets of a new connection get handled correctly by
IPVS and even get SNATed correctly. The ACK to the SYN/ACK still gets
handled correctly by IPVS but is NF_DROPed in POSTROUTING in
__nf_conntrack_confirm() as a result of a check finding the associated
conntrack tuple already in the nf_conntrack_hash (meaning, the
connection has already been confirmed). If I understand it correctly, we
shouldn't be entering that function for the ACK packet anyways, so
I'm doing something very wrong...
A packet trace on the director looks like this:
CIP: client IP
VIP: virtual service IP
DIP: director (load balancer) IP
RIP: real server (backend) IP
11:28:51.431221 IP <CIP>.49988 > <VIP>.80: S 1151908514:1151908514(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 74963354 0,nop,wscale 7>

(the above packet is dropped in POSTROUTING...)

...
The various places in Netfilter at which tuples are created, modified,
checked, inserted, etc. are kind of confusing to me and I'm missing the
necessary Netfilter internals knowledge to understand and handle this
correctly. I'd be glad if someone could give me a pointer into the right
direction or help out in any other way!
Thanks,
Julius
