Hi, I did some digging here and I think we're dealing with two different issues.

(1) I can reproduce the FATAL error given in the original bug description on a Xenial system, but not on Bionic, where keepalived understands the syntax.

(2) However in Bionic I get the following error when trying to use the 'script </dev/tcp' syntax:

  Script </dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/80 cannot be accessed - No such file or directory

I think *this* is the problem that the upstream commit pointed in the bug description fixes (see the upstream issue it fixes: https://github.com/acassen/keepalived/issues/817).

As Xenial is now in ESM the fix for the FATAL error won't land there. The fix for the "No such file or directory" error could instead be SRUd on Bionic, but before proceeding I'd like an ACK on my reasoning.
