IPVS functionality is already available as a module in the default
kernel. No need to go compiling your own.

[root at lvs1b ~]# rpm -qf /lib/modules/2.6.9-34.EL/kernel/net/ipv4/ipvs/ip_vs.ko
kernel-2.6.9-34.EL
[root at lvs1b ~]# grep -Ei '(ipvs)|(ip_vs)' /boot/config-`uname -r`

# CONFIG_IP_VS_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_IP_VS_TAB_BITS=12
# IPVS transport protocol load balancing support
CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_TCP=y

CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_ESP=y
CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_AH=y

If it's additional tools you need, Heartbeat, ipvsadm etc. then these
are available from Extras (Heartbeat 1.2.3, ipvsadm 1.24
-http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.centos.org/4/extras/i386/RPMS/
) and Testing repositories (Heartbeat 2.0.4-1 -
http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/ )
