I just tested ip_masq_ftp.o of kernel 2.2.19 (or later), it works with
ipvs. The active mode of FTP always works without loading ip_masq_ftp.o, 
but the passive mode of FTP need loading ip_masq_ftp.o with in_ports=21 
(modprobe ip_masq_ftp in_ports=21).

I used to make ipvs 1.0.9pre2 for kernel 2.2.20 in April, it is available
at http://linux-vs.org/~wensong/ipvs-1.0.9-2.2.20pre2.tar.gz. It is easy
for me to make a new 1.0.9pre version against kernel 2.2.22 based on that
pre2.

For future versions of ipvs for kernel 2.2.xx, you are welcome to fix 
bugs, generate the diff, make release candicates, etc.

Cheers,
