I haven't applied the patch and done a diff to individual files to be certain, 
but I'm pretty sure that the patch is mainly just a directory change. IPVS 
itself is already fairly well abstracted protocol-wise. Just another guess, but 
it sounds like Julius is submitting the patch as it would make more meaty 
patches smaller.

Call me crazy, but I plan to put my patch into production in two weeks time 
without the connect-to-vip-from-director parts. If everything goes well, I'll 
post patches again with adequate comments (and adjustments to comments). And to 
make this relevant: My patches don't do anything protocol specific other than 
to change when things are done and so would be fairly easy to update for IPV6 
if/when it is integrated.
