True.  However, while there are things I like in that approach I was
hoping to be able to continue using the built-in checks in ldirectord.
They are good enough for what we are currently doing and it (overall)
keeps things simpler.

My understanding it that you can't (for instance) run both a connect or
negotiate check and an external check for a single virtual service.

Isn't that what quiescent=yes is for?  At least in masquerade mode (what
we use), when the weight is set to 0 ipvs continues to send existing TCP
sessions to that server.  We weight a server to 0, then watch to make
sure all of the connections have closed, then bring the service down.
