Ethereal ELOG support and keepalived

Updated my Firestorm ELOG alert file support patch for Ethereal (0.10.0). Get it here.

I’ve been playing with keepalived over the last couple of weeks. It’s basically an entire Linux HA cluster system. It does the job of heartbeat for failover and incorporates LVS for load balanced services. It looks really great but I’ve managed to upset it a few times by restarting the daemon too much. Also I’ve found using bonded ethernet interfaces with multicast traffic results in multiple copies of the packets coming out of bond0, which really confuses the keepalived anti-replay sequence numbers (Hey, I’ve seen that packet already!). I’ve reported it to the keepalived guys and will do the same for the bonding people. I’m not sure whose problem it is to solve.
