The problem is I use heavily patched kernels (latest RedHat
7.1 kernel with SGI XFS patches) because I need/want IPVS,
Tux and XFS at the same time. I once tried patching a RH
kernel with a newer version of IPVS, but came to the
conclusion I can best leave that to other people. Now I'm
waiting for RH to upgrade to a newer version of IPVS.

Will that make this version of keepalived work with IPVS
0.8.x? Or does that mean you stop supporting older versions
of IPVS?

By the way: from what RPM is ip_vs.h supposed to come?
Copying it from the kernel sources like I do now is not
the best solution. Am I missing some RPM?
