i myself did this last night...
i just took a fresh redhat 6.2 install and rpm -q --all | grep piranha &
rpm -q --all | grep ipvsadm and did a corresponding rpm --erase the
above rpm names..
then popped on the ipvsadm and piranha from kbarrett's ftp and all is
well!
i also upgraded to a more recent kernel (2.2.16) but didnt add the
newest ipvs.. i think the kernel still has 0.9.7 (rpms for 2.2.16) but
things seem to be working well (ipvsadm shoots out its current load /
table info much faster)...
so.. its not too bad (very painless actually) if you dont upgrade the
ipvs.. albeit, i dont know if im hurting myself by not upgrading that at
the moment :)
