Hi,

The virtual server patch v0.7 for kernel 2.2.10 is now available at
    http://proxy.iinchina.net/~wensong/ippfvs/ipvs-0.7-2.2.10.tar.gz

The changes are as follows:
Changes:
-   Added a separate masq hash table for IPVS.

-   Added slow timers to expire masq entries. 
    Slow timers are checked in one second by default. Most overhead
    of cascading timers is avoided.

    With this new hash table and slow timers, the system can hold
    huge number of masq entries, but make sure that you have
    enough free memory. One masq entry costs 128 bytes memory
    effectively (Thank Alan Cox), if your box holds 1 million masq
    entries (it means that your box can receive 2000 connections per 
    second if masq expire time is 500 seconds in average.), make sure
    that you have 128M free memory. And, thank Alan for suggesting
    the early random drop algorithm for masq entries that prevents
    the system from running out of memory, I will design and implement
    this feature in the near future.

-   Fixed the unlocking bug in the ip_vs_del_dest().
    Thank Ted Pavlic <tpavlic@xxxxxxxxxxx> for reporting it.


Enjoy,

Wensong
