The following patch set has been iterated upon in the lvs-devel mailing list. I am submitting it here per Julian's advice for inclusion in the net-next tree. At Facebook we use ipip forwarding to deliver packets from our layer 4 ipvs load balancers to our layer 7 proxies. Today these layer 7 proxies are all dual stacked, so we can simply send v4 over v4 and v6 over v6. In the future, we're going to have v6-only layer 7 load balancers (no internal v4 address). To deal with this, we'll forward v4 packets in v6 tunnels. This patchset introduces the necessary functionality into ipvs. The noteworthy limitation of this is that it is not compatible with state synchronization, so great care is taken to keep these things mutually exclusive. This patchset includes changes that add an additional netlink attribute to destinations and changes that plumb the destination address family through parts of the code where it was assumed that it was the same as the service. Finally, there's a change that updates the transmit functions for tunneling to share common code and support v4 in v6 and vice versa.
