All-
I've been through most of the LVS-HOWTO and have searched the LVS wiki and
the mailing list archives, and it's still not clear to me what the status
of support for IPv6 is. The link on getting involved:
It's come up occassionally, mostly back in the good old days
when everyone expected to move to IPv6 tomorrow. But
tomorrow never came and the silence you see indicates that
nothing is happening. You are one of maybe half a dozen
people who've shown interest in the matter in the last 7
years. No-one is going to put any development work into code
for a user pool this small, when there are other things more
pressing to do. Horms is basically doing all the work single
handedly in his spare time, so it's not like we have a lot
of developers to spare. I wouldn't be surprised if there was
code around from early attempts at LVS-IPv6 but I'm sure
it's long forgotten now.
If you or your friend are interested in writing and testing
the IPv6 code, that would be a different matter. I don't
know if Horms has IPv6 so you would need to keep any eye on
the code through the various kernel revisions after the IPv6
LVS code was accepted.
