I will speak with my client about posing the patches - though it may
take a while as big companies sometimes move quite slowly.

ipvsadm runs in user-space and is used to configure ipvs.
ipvs lives inside the kernel and does all the real work.

Ok, this is something that I have tired to explain several times without
success. I'll have another go.
When a packet comes in the hash of known connections is checked. If an
entry there is found then it is used and the information in this entry
tells ipvs which real-server to forward the connection to. The entry has
a timeout which is updated each time a packet for it is forwarded.
If an entry is not found, then a new one is created and a real-server
is assigned using the scheduling algorithm (as configured by ipvsadm).
For persistent services, a template is also kept which models persistance.
Before going to the scheduler for a new connection the template
is looked up. If it is found then its real-server is used for the
connection. If not, the scheduler is used to create both a new entry
for the new connection and a new template.
These templates also have a timeout (as configured by ipvsadm),
which is reset each time a packet is forwarded for any connections
whose entry used the template in question.
For persistent connections you can think of the template as a parent
of all the connections from the same host (masked with the netmask
configured by ipvsadm).
For non-persistent connections, there is no parent-child
relationship as there are no templates.
