Using LVS on 2.2.14 in DR mode.  It is working superbly!

The kernel debug log (dmesg) occasionally gets bursts of
messages of the following form on the LVS box:

IP_MASQ:reverse ICMP: failed checksum from 199.108.9.188!
IP_MASQ:reverse ICMP: failed checksum from 199.108.9.188!
IP_MASQ:reverse ICMP: failed checksum from 199.108.9.188!
IP_MASQ:reverse ICMP: failed checksum from 199.108.9.188!
IP_MASQ:reverse ICMP: failed checksum from 199.108.9.188!

What is this, is it a serious problem, and how to deal with it?
