Imagine explaining the issue to a friend. Be specific. Instead of "The system isn't working," tell us what you're trying to do and what happens instead.
If you use HAProxy as the load balancer then all of the backend servers see the traffic coming from the IP address of the load balancer.
Standard Kernel builds of LVS (Linux Virtual Server) don't have the ability to load balance traffic that is from the local node.
Direct Routing aka. Direct Server Return (DSR) aka. N-Path is a great load balancing method. And it is, without doubt, the fastest method possible.
