I've been trying to get Direct Routing to  work as well (without using
the tunneling method).  I think a have a solution!

My patch is just  a slightly modified version  of one that Wensong has
given out.  It's meant for the non-Director servers (LVS slaves?) and
version 2.2.12 of the kernel.

Let me explain my change; when I debugged the kernel, I noticed that
my "lo:0" interface had the flags

        IFF_RUNNING, IFF_LOOPBACK and IFF_UP

and that's  why the ARP reply   were still being  sent.  So,  adding a
check for IFF_LOOPBACK made it work as expected.  Should this check be
tied to IFF_UP too?

Comments?

I was in a bar and I walked up to a beautiful woman and said, "Do you live
around here often?"  She said, "You're wearing two different-color socks."
I said, "Yes, but to me they're the same because I go by thickness."
She said, "How do you feel?" And I said, "You know when you're sitting on a
chair and you lean back so you're just on two legs and you lean too far so
you almost fall over but at the last second you catch yourself?  I feel like
that all the time..."
