That patch didn't handle multiple virtual services properly. Attached
is an updated patch which does.

I've tidied up the patch, splitting it into its component parts:
   net-snmp-lvs-module-0.0.4-leak_fix-2.patch     Memory leak bug fix.
   net-snmp-lvs-module-0.0.4-compile.patch        Add -fPIC to Makefile CFLAGS.
   net-snmp-lvs-module-0.0.4-duplicate_registration.patch

Robin Bowes patch from 2009-09-30,

fixing the duplicate registration error.

We've since discovered another problem, affecting the size of IPv4
addresses returned by net-snmp. On an IPv6-enabled system running
net-snmp 5.5, IPv4 addresses are returned as 16 byte values; testing
with net-snmp clients doesn't show the problem, but other clients are
affected.

The LVS module doesn't allow for struct ip_vs_service_entry.addr being
a union, containing either an IPv4 or an IPv6 address.
net-snmp-lvs-module-0.0.4-IP_version.patch contains a patch to handle
this.

All the patches are still in testing - I'd recommend anyone else
applying them to test thoroughly before using in production.

Nick.
