-t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d xxx -j DNAT --to x1 --to x2

provides a very simple load balancing.

It works very well for light workloads (1 req per second) but for a sustained load
(300 req/s, generated by httperf) after a few seconds, the output is locked on one
of the target address, the other one never being selected.

Worse: after that, even after a delete of the rule, followed by a redefinition of the rule
the bad behaviour is not corrected. A reboot is needed to get back the feature...

I have not tryed to debug this, would you have some hints ?
Bye.
