I almost have no objection to your patch, because few people run other
services at port 21. However, it is not a perfect solution, because it
only check and bind ip_vs_ftp to port 21, people may run ftp service
at other ports, still need run "modprobe ip_vs_ftp ..." too. So, I am a
little bit hesitating to release a ipvsadm version for kernel 2.4 with
your patch. :)
Julian and I used to plan the --app/--helper option in specifying a
virtual service, in which the application helper is bound to virtual
service. It's probably a little bit better. We may need to investigate it
again on the next devel branch.
