Setting IPVS/LVS timeout in Keepalived

Hello.

Is it possible to configure IPVS/LVS timeout values in the Keepalived 
configuration file? By default the TCP timeout values in the kernel LVS 
tables are as follows:

- TCP sessions: 900 seconds
- TCP sessions after receiving a FIN packet: 120 seconds
- UDP packets: 300 seconds

These values can be modified via 'ipsetadm --set', for e.g.

$ ipvsadm --set 3600 120 300

As expected, these modifications are not persistent and they are lost 
after system restart. If the current LVS configuration is printed out 
with 'ipsetadm-save -n', the timeout values aren't included. This makes 
it impossible to reload the timeout values with the ipvsadm init script.

This has been discussed several times in the lvs-users mailing list. It 
has always come to a conclusion that LVS/IPVS is a framework and that 
the management application should do the configuring. I know that there 
are other ways to implement this, such as setting the timeout value in 
/etc/rc.local, but it's obviously a nasty kludge.

Thanks,
Ville
