Sure it will ! Use direct routing and read thoroughly the LVS how-to on
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/

This is NAT with 2 NICs. You still can go for NAT with 1 NIC, which is a
bit harder and not really worth it.

You should really try direct routing. If you need more help, I'll send
you my current piranha config (+explanations).
