> What does this (apparently) negative inactconn really mean? 

I'd take to mean that a cumulative counter is being decremented
incorrectly. What OS is this, and which kernel version? Also, which
ipvsadm package is this using (ie the RPM or DEB version)?

It would be interesting to see the output from "ipvsadm -Ln --stats",
too.
