I tried contacting the maintiner of keepalived to see if there would be 
an interest in integrating feedbackd (NECP) support into keepalived. 
Never got a response.  I don't want to work on something that would 
never be accepted into keepalived proper.  Passive monitoring is nice, 
but active would be better.
So, I'll ask it: would any of you want to see NECP support added to 
keepalived?
