From what I read, there are 3 types of TCP load balancing:
How virtual server works
Astaro I believe is doing the 1st type which is using NAT.
Linux tools themselves have the ability to load balancing these other ways. Each have their advantages and disadvantages but that's for the user to know and control. Anyone know if this is something of interest? I'll put something into the Feature request section.
One advantage of one of the TCP load balancing ways is that the router can load balance to ANY IP, not in its own LAN. That's important to be able to do.
