Basically what I want to do is, when connecting from another machine on the .9 network to 192.168.9.53 on port 80,the connection should be forwarded to 192.168.8.54 or .54 on port 80.  

I looked at tcpdump I see that the connection is being forwarded correctly, but i don't 
get a reply back. From the server where i run LVS on, i can ping both networks


The server where i initiate the telnet command is:
