This is supposed to be my followup email:
----------------------------------------------------------
Ok, been there. Just skimmed through it though. I'll read it thoroughly later. 
However, I've been thinking about this for a while. I'm pretty sure it has 
something to do with this. The client's destination address on a telnet 
session is set to that of the ipvsrouter, so the telnetserver should somehow 
be able to handle this by(having that very same ip ON a loopback interface(to 
avoid replying to arp requests, (so that it can still be able to process the 
cilents request forwarded to it) since the ipvsrouter is the only one who 
should be replying, right?) . 
---------------------------------------------------------

However I've already made it to work. 
Thank's joe, you're the best!!

At first, I am really reluctant to read that HowTo because I thought its just 
for Linux and I do not need those sort of kernel patching stuffs, since I 
will be using a BSD machine. Eventually it proved me wrong. Sometimes, one 
only need to understand how things are working internally, regardless of the 
platform, and the only way is through taking time to read and understand 
those helpful HowTo's that the author have invested a lot of their time and 
effort to help others not expecting any in return. I remember one time when I 
tried posting a newbie question at misc@xxxxxxxxxx the guy replied saying... 
hey, read the F***ing Manual, this is not a Linux list, there's no HowTo 
here. What's wrong with having a HowTo??

Anyway, thank you very much again joe. You've been helpful to me for the past 
2 days.
That's all for now.:-)
