Ah yes, found it at:
http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.UDP.html

Funnily enough the section: 
22.4. Julian's One Packet Scheduler (OPS) forUDP, timeouts for DNS

starts with this sentence:
"Although UDP packets are connectionless and independant of each other, in
an LVS, consecutive packets from a client are sent to the same realserver, at least till a timeout or a packet count has been reached."
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Never read anything about a packet count based scheduler, could somebody
clue me in here or was that wishful thinking by the author? ^o^

The section goes on about how OPS could break RADIUS reply packets, but
since I'm using a DR based setup this should be a non-issue. 

Regards,

Christian
