Could you send me a copy of your kernel configuration, ipvs system

I seldom install ip_conntrack.o module while testing ipvs. I remember that
I used to meet some problems in testing ipvs of early 0.2.x version on SMP
while iptable_nat is enabled to masquerade internal hosts, but I didn't
trace the problem.
