Hi
 
I'm not sure if I really understood your problem correctly, but
concerning the version of the patch to be applied I'd consider
you in taking the newest one (0.9.11). However the persistent
netmask feature is available since patch 0.9.2, if I'm right.
But if you would like to use f.e. the port 0 option, you would
at least need patch 0.9.5 to make it work. Hope this answers
your question.

Your question about the meaning of persistent netmask, I copy
the corresponding part of the ipvsadm man-page:

       -M, --netmask netmask
              For  persistent  ports,  allows  you to specify the
              granularity at which the clients are  grouped.  The
              source  address  of the request is masked with this
              netmask to, for example, direct all clients from  a
              /24 network to the same real server. The default is
              255.255.255.255, which means that  the  persistence
              granularity  is per client host. Use this option to
              solve  problems with non-persistent cache  clusters
              on the client side.

As of connection backup, I'm not sure what you exactly mean, but
I guess you think of pushing the kernel masq table with the
template entries from one director's kernel to a spare one, so
in case of a failover the least possible amount of sessions
would be lost. This is actually not yet implemented and I'm
not sure who exactly is working on it but it has been discussed
a little bit in this mailinglist.
