Ok, I'm still a little confused, but I think what he is talking
about is being able to run the master and backup daemons on
both linux-directors at the same time. That patch was merged
into the kernel a while ago now, and the chances are that
you can do this without patching. To test, try running:
ipvsadm --start-daemon master
ipvsadm --start-daemon backup
Which if it works, will improve things somewhat.
