Actuall Peter,
That is exactly what i am trying to do. To the exact dot. but right
now my biggest problem is getteing everything ready for the lvs, i am
fighting with getting everything installed. i am still trying to get the
patch installed in my kernel so that when i do the make menuconfig the
virtual server option shows up. i have never done anything with recompiling
the kernel cause i have been using freebsd most of the time and never had
to:) but i am trying to do exactly what you are doing :).
