But that is not the only problem.
HTTPS is another and also with LVS you can do much more "intelligent" load-balancing,
using different balancing algorithms. Not to mention the fail-over
capabilities.
I'm not saying its impossible with ipchains, I'm just saying that a lot of
people are working on more sophisticated solutions already and that those solutions
are working great!
