To get SMB/CIFS succesfully through an LVS I forward the following
ports/protocols...

137/udp
138/udp
139/tcp
445/tcp

And that allows me to succesfully browse to \\${hostname} from a
windows machine on the network outside the LVS. I imagine firewall
requirements would be similar.

Are the iptables rules you posted actually applied on the Samba server
itself or something in between?
