8 hours, 2 kernel+ipvs upgrades and about 10000 lines of kernel logs after,
not so often in the logs (still plenty of):
kernel: IPVS: Incoming failed TCP checksum from bla.bla.bla.bla (size=20)!
and
kernel: IPVS: mess proto_doff for proto=6, size =20
kernel: IPVS: I-pkt invalid packet data size
2.4.2+ipvs_0.2.6, 2.4.2+ipvs_0.2.7, 2.4.3+ipvs_0.2.8, 2.4.4+ipvs_0.2.11
All these combinations (SMP based) crashed in less than 8 hours of high
traffic. 2.4.2+0.2.7 resisted over a week-end at low traffic (~2.5 Mbps)

Both LVS and MASQUERADE packets. It is not the expected behavior and I haven't
found something related in netfilter docs (well, I didn't search very much).
I used only iptables (ipchains and ipfwadm compat isn't even compiled, not
even as module)
