Yep, definately use the latest version. We had repeated problems with
RedHat's "out-of-the-box" support for LVS. (ie, it just don't work well).
Charles: as the older LVS stuff is already included in the 7.3 kernel,
no - you cannot apply the patches to that source tree. You can get a
.config file from 7.3 (just run make menuconfig and exit to write the
file), and use that .config with the 2.4.18 from kernel.org (patched, of
course).
Like I said, if you're really stuck, I can send you a big fat tarball
with all the source, patches and config to make a RedHat-like kernel
that includes all the LVS code.

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. :-)
