Oh, OK.

Yes the conf patch will support all the IPVS code even non syncd release
like 0.8.x.
But I have currently not enought time to quickly make the patch.

In the keepalived compiling process, I assume that the kernel is properly
patched with LVS code so I assume that ip_vs.h can be found (but do not
check it since it is a requierment).
Copying manually the ip_vs.h can be done but need to copy the right ip_vs.h
according to the kernel IPVS code... This can be done in the autoconf
script verifying the ip_vs.h version number and a kernel call to IPVS
framework to verify the ip_vs.h is the right version to use with the
current running kernel.
Will try to find time to make this changes.
Best regards,
Alexandre
