I integrated some comments from Thomas Graf, Patrick McHardy and Yoshifuji Hideaki and changed a few things myself. The interface should now follow existing Netlink conventions more closely and has been tested without problems. The two patches add a Generic Netlink interface to IPVS while keeping the old get/setsockopt interface for userspace backwards compatibility. The motivation for this is to have a more extensible interface for future changes, such as the planned IPv6 support. ipvsadm is currently being extended to support the new interface and features. The ip_vs.h header change depends on this patch I sent previously: "IPVS: Move userspace definitions to include/linux/ip_vs.h" (this one looked good to Horms, can it go in?) Julius
