This is a repost of a patch-series posted by Hannes Eder last September.
This is v2 of the patch series and I don't see any outstanding objections to
it in the mailing list archives.
Series v2.8 Convert XT_IPVS_IPVS_* from #defines to an enum,
as suggested by Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@xxxxxxxxxx>
Series v2.7 Fixes header miss-match between kernel and user-space
Series v2.6 fixes the arguments to of %pI4
Series v2.5 fixes some problems introduced in v2.4.
Series v2.4 addresses all of the concerns that Patrick McHardy raised
witht the v2.3 series.
The original cover-email from Hannes follows.
The diffstat output has been updated to reflect changes by me.
Mark Brooks has tested the v2.7 patchset, and found no problems.
Details of his test follow Hannes's cover. I have made minor
edits to Mark's email but not the results.

The following series implements full NAT support for IPVS. The
approach is via a minimal change to IPVS (make friends with
nf_conntrack) and adding a netfilter matcher, kernel- and user-space
part, i.e. xt_ipvs and libxt_ipvs.
Example usage:
% ipvsadm -A -t 192.168.100.30:80 -s rr
% ipvsadm -a -t 192.168.100.30:80 -r 192.168.10.20:80 -m
# ...
# Source NAT for VIP 192.168.100.30:80
% iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -m ipvs --vaddr 192.168.100.30/32 \
> --vport 80 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.10.10
or SNAT-ing only a specific real server:
% iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING --dst 192.168.11.20 \
> -m ipvs --vaddr 192.168.100.30/32 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.10.10
First of all, thanks for all the feedback. This is the changelog for v2:
- Make ip_vs_ftp work again. Setup nf_conntrack expectations for
related data connections (based on Julian's patch see
http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/nfct/) and let nf_conntrack/nf_nat do the
packet mangling and the TCP sequence adjusting.
This change rises the question how to deal with ip_vs_sync? Does it
work together with conntrackd? Wild idea: what about getting rid of
ip_vs_sync and piggy packing all on nf_conntrack and use conntrackd?
Any comments on this?
- xt_ipvs: add new rule '--vportctl port' to match the VIP port of the
controlling connection, e.g. port 21 for FTP. Can be used to match
a related data connection for FTP:
# SNAT FTP control connection
% iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -m ipvs --vaddr 192.168.100.30/32 \
> --vport 21 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.10.10
# SNAT FTP passive data connection
% iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -m ipvs --vaddr 192.168.100.30/32 \
> --vportctl 21 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.10.10
- xt_ipvs: use 'par->family' instead of 'skb->protocol'
- xt_ipvs: add ipvs_mt_check and restrict to NFPROTO_IPV4 and NFPROTO_IPV6
- Call nf_conntrack_alter_reply(), so helper lookup is performed based
on the changed tuple.

I'm going to detail my setup and what I did to test/confirm this (you can
probably skip this bit if you want bit I thought I should include it for
completeness)
The Loadbalancer
IPVS 1.2.1
iptables 1.4.8 --patched
kernel - 2.6.35-rc1 --patched
eth0 ip 192.168.17.93
eth0:45 192.168.18.21 (I would have used eth1 but couldn't find a test box
spare with 2 network cards in)
My test box -
eth0 192.168.18.1
The Webserver -
192.168.17.4:80
Commands to setup ipvs and iptables
IPVS
ipvsadm -A -t 192.168.18.21:80 -s rr
ipvsadm -a -t 192.168.18.21:80 -r 192.168.17.4:80 -m
iptables
/usr/local/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -m ipvs --vaddr
192.168.18.21/24 --vport 80 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.17.93
iptables shows -
iptables -t nat -L

TCP 192.168.18.21:80 rr
-> 192.168.17.4:80 Masq 1 0 0
Connected to the IP from my browser page loaded fine and you can see in the
apache log -
"192.168.17.93 - - [21/Jul/2010:08:44:00 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 82"
Finally I ran a couple of tests with httperf for about 6 hours to see if
anything strange happened
httperf --hog --server 192.168.18.21 --num-con 250 --ra $NUMBER --timeout 5
A maximum number of connections of 250 at rates between 1 and 250
connections per second. Every connection completed fine and there appeared
to be no problems.
