A reply from a Cilium LoadBalancer VIP reaches the routing decision with
the VIP as its source, so the pod-source rules 1000/1001 missed it and
main sent it out mgmt0 while the request came in over ingress0, the BGP
next hop (k8s-3, 2026-11-02: replies from 10.2.99.90 to an IoT device
seen only on mgmt0). Rules 1002/1003 send the pool to table 47.
The pool becomes a site fact: each site patch carries lb-pool-site
(flux-system), and bgp-pool takes its blocks from it by Flux
substitution in infrastructure-crds. The CIDR blocks cover the same
addresses as the start/stop ranges did (allowFirstLastIPs defaults to
Yes). The qemu and hcloud sites carry the production pool, since
Services pin their addresses from it.
