FWIW, LVS now supports IPv6 and satisfies most of the
requirements you listed in your opening email except for
SSL offloading and content acceleration. These aren't directly
supported by LVS but can probably be achieved with other code running
on the same box(es).

BTW, I have never understood why anyone would want to use SSL offloading,
surely its better to push must surely be the most CPU intensive part
of a connection as far out to the edge as possible. Is the issue
that its cheaper to by certificates that way? Not baiting, genuinely curious.
