Sorry if i miss understood something /my english is not native/, 
but if i am correct you turn off /somehow/ icmp redirects.

Is that mean that real server/s dont receive icmp packets /with VIP as dst/ at 
all.
Dont you think that lack of info about packets like "Source Quench", 
"Destination unreachable" and friends
can affect LVS performance.

Thanks
