Well, to be honest, I haven't read the whole thread in deep detail. But 
to answer your specific question: Yes, you can actually set the mtu for 
a route to/from the VIP. _However_ you must of course pay attention to 
route selection which can be investigated with ip rule/ip route or the 
shell tools I've written to display routing tables.

So you might need to put the VIP route into a special routing table 
which gets parsed before the other routes. Also don't forget to flush 
the routing cache.

[I would need to check the IPVS code if in 2.4.x/2.6.x we do some local 
route tricks which disable MTU ;). I have been away from the code for 
about 4 months already.]

Cheers,
Roberto Nibali, ratz
