	Yep, thats the new evil, Dependent connection tracking vs
Independent connection tracking (new). When I synced patches to 2.6.20
I left this patch in old state. It looks like the new way is to clone
everything from IP_NF to NF and I didn't wanted to create new ip_vs_nfct.c
file for the NF case. Is the old Dependent connection tracking obsoleted?

	Can you live with Dependent connection tracking?
