Good point.
Have not tried it but I expect they are able to work together. TPROXY in
3.1 works between peers.

It would just require some additional routing tricks to force packets
from the LB instance to go through a public interface and be
double-TPROXY'd on their way to the back-end. Avoiding use of the lo
interface which can't be bound to remote IPs.
