We just moved our primary load balancer from an ancient Dell

Where before, we were seeing Active Connections in the 1-4 range
even during normal usage, we're now seeing them in the 12-16 range
on average. We've got the same weighting on the new server as we
did on the old.
someone else reported the same problem a little while ago. The only
thing I can think is that RH has done something with the code that
we don't know about. If your system is otherwise behaving OK, you
could ignore it/recalibrate your ideas of what it does.
Would the code changes (if they're there) be in the kernel/networking
level, or the packaged LVS? To put it another way, would it gain us
anything to build ipvsadm-1.24-6.src.rpm from linuxvirtualserver.org
and use that instead of the ipvsadm-1.24-7.2.1 package from Fedora?
Thanks,
