This patch should have come in a tar ball
http://linuxvirtualserver.org/software/kernel-2.4/ipvs-0.8.1.tar.gz

When you unpack this tarball there is a directory, ipvs/ipvsadm/
that contains the version of ipvsadm that you should use.

ipvsadm comes with a man page that explains the parameters that
can be passed to ipvsadm. Try "man ipvsadm".

Is the windows 2000 machine a real-server or a client. If you are lusing
LVS-NAT and windows 2000 is a real-server then you just set up the linunx
director as the default gateway.  You will also need to configure the
windows 2000 machine to run whatever services (web server?) you wish to
have load balanced.

I would really suggest looking at
http://linuxvirtualserver.org/Joseph.Mack/mini-HOWTO/LVS-mini-HOWTO-5.html
or the HOTWO itself as it has detailed information on how to configure
the system.


Briefly:

You need to ensure that you have IPV4 forwarding turned on.

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

You also need to ensure that you are masquerdaing the internal network.

e.g.

/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.61.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
