Load Balancing

[Nathaniel Hall <halln () otc edu>]

I am working on creating a firewall to do load balancing between two or 
more LDAP servers.  I am using Fedora Core 2 as my firewall with two 
physical NICs.  I have tried several different combinations of rules, 
but I cannot get it to work correctly.  Here is what is going wrong:

LDAP request goes to 172.16.0.63
Request is routed to interface on same network and destination address 
is correctly changed to a random system to be load balanced.
Once there is an answer for LDAP, the answer goes directly to the 
requesting machine, not the firewall that routed it.

I know this is a very easy problem to fix, but I apparently am losing my 
mind and cannot think.
