I haven't applied the patch and done a diff to individual files to be certain,
but I'm pretty sure that the patch is mainly just a directory change. IPVS
itself is already fairly well abstracted protocol-wise. Just another guess, but
it sounds like Julius is submitting the patch as it would make more meaty
patches smaller.

Call me crazy, but I plan to put my patch into production in two weeks time
without the connect-to-vip-from-director parts. If everything goes well, I'll
post patches again with adequate comments (and adjustments to comments). And to
make this relevant: My patches don't do anything protocol specific other than
to change when things are done and so would be fairly easy to update for IPV6
if/when it is integrated.
