when the lvs daemona ctually gets handed off the config like it's supposed
to. Seems lvs doesn't know hwo to read what nanny passes on to it most of
the time.
Though testing exactly where lvs is choking is made rather difficult since
passing nanny the -v switch to get verbose messages is a pain in the butt.

Yeah. as in configuration, and administration. The problem there is
that the things the 24x7 support covers are things like "I've never
used LVS before and I need to know what application to run to see the
piranha web interface." but if you find a problem in the functionality be
prepared to pay extra for a development contract to fix the problem.
The support doesn't go anywhere towards actually fixing a broken config,
only fixing user knowledge of how to run the frontend.
