iptables command lack support for CLUSTERIP target

[Baldur Norddahl]

Binary package hint: iptables

Ubuntu server 7.04:

Ubuntu comes with the ipt_CLUSTERIP module. But it is impossible to use this module, as the iptables command does not support it.

root@vacuum4:~# iptables -A INPUT -j CLUSTERIP
iptables v1.3.6: Couldn't load target `CLUSTERIP':/lib/iptables/libipt_CLUSTERIP.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Workaround: Download the iptables source and compile your own binary with support for the CLUSTERIP target. The existing kernel module will work fine with this.

I can confirm that this bug occurs under feisty, edgy, dapper and breezy.

I'll look into the status of it and see if it's mature enough for inclusion.
