Hi, |

I'd suggest asking this on the kernel.org maillists, Since i don't think LVS |
| 4 |
clustering has many special requirements on the kernel. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Any new fresh kernel 1.6.18 might need a bunch of security/stability fixes, |
| 7 |
But on the other hand , the 2.6.17 kerne should allready have received most |
| 8 |
of those simple fixes, and shoud thus be stable. |

Maybe if you need special patches (no-arp), that only support a fixed set of |
| 11 |
kernels, then you need to look for a special kernel version, but that |
| 12 |
depends on your patches. |

I'm running a cluster of 6 dl360's (g1), so your's looks like a beast next |
| 15 |
to mine :P |
