What sort of virtual IPs/cluster?

There are some problems with LVS routers & piranha (load-balancing
clusters) in the current released RHEL4 packages where VIPs are not
correctly deactivated when a service or an LVS router is shut down.

Versions prior to piranha-0.7.10-2 are not affected.

See these bugzillas:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=228530
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=123342

There's a patch in comment #1 of the first bug that fixes this behavior.

Kind regards,
Bryn.
