I am still stronly of the opinion that the sysctl variables should
be documented in the ipvsadm man page as they are stronly tied to its
behaviour.
At the moment we are in a completely half-arsed situation where
some are documented in ipvsadm(8), while all documented in sysctl.html
Yet there is no reference to sysctl.html in ipvsadm(8). Why???!!!
My preference is to merge all the information in sysctl.html into
ipvsadm(8) or perhaps a separeate man page. If this is not acceptable
then I would advocate removing all of the sysctl infromation from
ipvsadm(8) and replacing it with a reference to sysctl.html.
Though to be honest, why half the information on configuring LVS
should be in ipvsadm(8) and the other half in sysctl.html
is beyond me.
