Hi,
I have a load balance(LB) server and and i wonder

when an HTTP reqeust arrive to the LB server ,which in his turn pass it to
another server
does the response return directly to the browser or via the LB hardware?

Thanks in advance.
 
I believe that hardware based LB' are transparent, but software based are
not. If you can use Ethreal or similar to capture network traffic after LB,
you could check if those tcp/ip packets containing http request have
client's ip address or LB's ip address form sender field.
