Description
I looked at HA with clusterIP and see that it needs patches.
It requires to build a new kernel and iptables, making updates more difficult.
Is there a plan to integrate thoses patches mainline?
Regards.

Is there a plan to integrate thoses patches mainline?
No, I didn't try to bring them upstream, as I don't think they will get accepted. It introduces two new netfilter hooks and breaks the iptables ABI.
I've planned to rework the patches anyway and base them on xt_cluster instead of ClusterIP. This will bring us IPv6 support. Maybe I'll find a solution that doesn't break the ABI, making it more suitable for upstream integration.
