Nice to know the history of it, thanks :-)

I will take a look at it but I think it is a low priority. I read the
section of the LVS HOWTO on the arp problem carefully and noticed
something that I had not noticed before: the noarp module. I have since
started using that on my real machines with the older kernels and it
seems to be working so far. (Hence my posts from late last night about
the noarp module).
