I'm trying to figure this out. I'm reading in the Howto
(http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/Joseph.Mack/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO_1.0-12.html#s
s12.2) about the TP (or Horm's) method.

Will this work with 2.4 kernels or not?
In the howto is says:
"Horms' method requires all real-servers to be Linux 2.2.x machines with IP
masquerading, transparent proxing and IP firewalls turned on. In 2.4.x, TP
is part of the kernel build, there is no TP option."

This isn't clear to me :P
If it means what i think it means, that you don't need to activate those
options for the 2.4 kernel since they are already in, then replace ", there
is no TP option" with ", so TP will work without any modifications to the
kernel" or something like that maybe?
It might be just me that's a bit slow here, but it would be less confusing.

Further down in the instructions for the rc.horms script:
"#2. Real-servers: Must be running 2.2.x kernel."
Well, this is clear, but is it right?

This text is referenced in the arp problem section of the howto under fixes
for 2.4 kernels.

Can someone confirm wether this works or not with 2.4 kernels plese :)

I admit this is not an obvious location to find this info. I'll put a better
link in the next HOWTO.
