I wouldn't suggest using your rc.lvs because of several points :
* it uses ipvsadm whereas it shouldn't (it piranha's role)
* it mixes virtual server commands, filtering commands, routing commands
* it starts daemons which do have initscripts

Form my point of view:
* everything related to iptables should be moved to
/etc/sysconfig/iptables and the iptables service should be activated
* sysctl variables should be set in /etc/sysctl.conf only
* no ipvsadm stuff, piranha will manage it by itself, just activate the
pulse service
* piranha-gui is also a service, activate it

This is based on the assumption that session tracking is real server
bound, which is obviously and fortunately not always true. Just think DB
or file sharing.

It's not ! The uncommented line is :
/usr/sbin/lvs --configfile=/etc/sysconfig/ha/lvs.cf
