+ Controls how ipvs will deal with connections that are detected
+ port reuse. It is a bitmap, with the values being:
+
+ 0: disable any special handling on port reuse. The new
+ connection will be delivered to the same real server that was
+ servicing the previous connection. This will effectively
+ disable expire_nodest_conn.
+
+ bit 1: enable rescheduling of new connections when it is safe.
+ That is, whenever expire_nodest_conn and for TCP sockets, when
+ the connection is in TIME_WAIT state (which is only possible if
+ you use NAT mode).
+
+ bit 2: it is bit 1 plus, for TCP connections, when connections
+ are in FIN_WAIT state, as this is the last state seen by load
+ balancer in Direct Routing mode. This bit helps on adding new
+ real servers to a very busy cluster.
