The reason we would like to try something other than the hidden patch is
also that we have been experiensing problems with our LB cluster that the
other node ARPs addresses it doesnt have. Therefore we would like to try
something different.
And yes, I do believe a module to be somewhat less intrusive than a patch.
I have read the section on policy routing, but in all honesty I must say
that I was unable to make it work as expected. Therefore the noarp modules
seemes like a godsend.

I'm sure some have.

How can you call your kernel with an active LKM a standard kernel? And
don't you have to recompile the module too? So what's the difference
between compiling the kernel and that module? Also note I for example do
not have any compilers on my nodes, either LB or RS.
If you really do not want to touch anything around the kernel, you
should probably try out one of the lesser suggested methods using
iproute2 to blackhole the VIP.

Check section 3: The policy routing approach.
