Hmm, I took this patch for the userspace ipvsadm tool, but I wonder if
the kernel change every got merged?  That is Simon's area... ?!?

But I didn't cut a release with it, thus you need to use the git repo
version if ipvsadm to test this:

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kernel/ipvsadm/ipvsadm.git

Well, that is a RHEL6 kernel, I know that change have not been
backported... you have to open a case with Red Hat if you really need
that change in a RHEL kernel.
