TCP support idea

[sielaq]

There are lots of similar requests to support TCP in Fabio.
This ticket is just an alternative solution and for discuss the issue,
if Kernel layer 4 balancer with IPVS can be used.

After reading
https://blog.codeship.com/kernel-load-balancing-for-docker-containers-using-ipvs/
you can see a lot of good work that has been done here (even consul integration):
https://github.com/kobolog/gorb

Wouldn't be an cool idea to make a "join venture" with this project
make a fabio and gorb two modules for a "Holy Grail" solution for one consul based proxy/router/balancer ?

This is an idea for
#1
#94
eBayClassifiedsGroup/PanteraS#218
and probably more

Sounds like an interesting approach. ipvs works only on Linux but there should be other FW solutions for FreeBSD, Solaris and Windows as well.
