There are various ways to do this, here is the one I would suggest.
1. Read this post and patch by Alexandre Cassen
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-virtual-server&m=105459391703228&w=2
2. The patch was put into LVS 1.1.X but not 1.0.X
so if you want that behaviour and you are using
LVS 1.0.X (i.e. 2.4.X kernel) you will need to
patch the code yourself.
3. You may want this patch too which fixes a small bug
in Alexandre's code.
