        Make sure nf_conntrack_count does not reach the nf_conntrack_max
value.

        If you do not use iptables rules, you can disable it, it is
not needed for the IPVS traffic. Only IP_VS_NFCT, IP_VS_FTP and IP_VS_PE_SIP
depend on it. But as IP_VS_NFCT is not a separate module, may be you have
to compile IPVS without these features.
