[OpenWrt-Devel] Linux IP Virtual Server for OpenWrt trunk or github?

[Mauro Mozzarelli]

Hi Felix,

Thank you for your feedback.

What you are saying does make sense to me, but it makes sense also to keep ipvs
together with iptables as they are both part of netfilter, which is my preference.

I would like to hear some other opinions.
