Yes, I know about this posting from ANK. But if you really
talk with many destinations then try to increase the rows. It
speedups the lookup and prevents the CPU to be used for realoocations
of route cache entries - the hash function used is not perfect.
You can see the effect by using testlvs:
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/~julian/#testlvs
Start it with the desired number of clients to see what
throughput you can expect (in one direction). The different
LVS versions (2.2/2.4) can show different results.

Not sure for this. May be it depends on the used NICs.
