Still, it would be harmless enough to add an option, passed
as a module loading parameter to ip_vs_ftp, that allows an
alternate port. It would be globabl, and obviously there are
cases it wouldn't cover, but it would solve the problem at hand.
I guess the remaining question is, should the problem at hand be solved
in LVS.
