\_ And, have you tried to apply the LVS patch directly to the RedHat kernel

At least the RH 7.3 (2.4.18-3) kernel comes with ipvs patched in
already, I believe, given the net/ipv4/ipvs directory.  Based on
timestamps in the file the patch seems to be r0.9.8 (IIRC) from
December.

FWIW, I've recently started looking into LVS, and I was amazed when
simple LVS-NAT was supported 'out of the box' in RH 7.3.  

However I'm having issues with ktcpvs corrupting returns and generally
disliking me, so I'm rolling my own kernel with a later revision and
seeing if that begins to play nice.  But more on this later when I've
exhausted all potential avenues that I can think of with the help of
the FAQ.  :-)
