Yes, that is correct. Take a look at net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c in a >= 2.6.28-rc3 kernel. This contains both the old sysctl interface and the new netlink one. The ipvsadm i1.25 code contains the client-side code. You will need libnl and its headers installed in order to compile netlink support for ipvsadm. _______________________________________________ Please read the documentation before posting - it's available at: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - lvs-users@LinuxVirtualServer.org Send requests to lvs-users-requ...@linuxvirtualserver.org or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
