 Thank-you:  that was exactly what we needed.  By running
# ipvsadm --set 7200 0 0
Our timeouts have stopped, with a tolerance now of up to two hours.
Incidentally, I found this struct in
/usr/src/linux/net/ipv4/ipvs/ip_vs_conn.c.  I changed the
IP_VS_S_ESTABLISHED to 60*60 instead of 15*60 (the default) and
recompiled, which changed the default timeout to 1 hour.  Here's the
amended struct:
/*
 *      Timeout table[state]
 */
struct ip_vs_timeout_table vs_timeout_table = {
        ATOMIC_INIT(0), /* refcnt */
        0,              /* scale  */
        {
                [IP_VS_S_NONE]          =       30*60*HZ,
                [IP_VS_S_ESTABLISHED]   =       60*60*HZ,
                [IP_VS_S_SYN_SENT]      =       2*60*HZ,
                [IP_VS_S_SYN_RECV]      =       1*60*HZ,
                [IP_VS_S_FIN_WAIT]      =       2*60*HZ,
                [IP_VS_S_TIME_WAIT]     =       2*60*HZ,
                [IP_VS_S_CLOSE]         =       10*HZ,
                [IP_VS_S_CLOSE_WAIT]    =       60*HZ,
                [IP_VS_S_LAST_ACK]      =       30*HZ,
                [IP_VS_S_LISTEN]        =       2*60*HZ,
                [IP_VS_S_SYNACK]        =       120*HZ,
                [IP_VS_S_UDP]           =       5*60*HZ,
                [IP_VS_S_ICMP]          =       1*60*HZ,
                [IP_VS_S_LAST]          =       2*HZ,
        },      /* timeout */
};
Thanks once again - that problem was a production show-stopper for us.
