Well, to be correct, it's a triplet of <proto, vaddr, vport> for basic hashing, 
but you can as well implement a new scheduler and register your own hashing, as 
it is done for example with the lblcr scheduler.

It's changeable, the hash could be extended if there is a real need for it. Just 
bring it on on the LVS list ;).

Yes, we can discuss it there, if you prefer.
