[ubuntu] Troubles with ipvsadm ruing on Ubuntu 14.04.4 x64

First off, I'm trying to create a "cloud-based" load balancer to pass traffic back and forth between two Icecast2 servers (both hosting content on port 8000 on different networks than my load balancer). I have searched and searched the Inteet and can't find the resolution to my problem.

I'm a newbie so please be gentle.

Jumping ahead a bit... ipvsadm is installed and "seems" to be working.

The following is my ipvsadm.rules file (located /etc/ipvsadm.rules)

-A -t icy.hostedbysmitty.com:8000 -s rr
-a -t icy.hostedbysmitty.com:8000 -r icynyc1.hostedbysmitty.com:8000 -g -w 25
-a -t icy.hostedbysmitty.com:8000 -r 66-237-51-34.starstream.net:8000 -g -w 75

I'd like 25% of the traffic to go to server 1, 75% to server 2.

When I type command "root@icy:~# nano /etc/default/ipvsadm this is what I see:

# ipvsadm


# if you want to start ipvsadm on boot set this to true
AUTO="true"


# daemon method (none|master|backup)
DAEMON="master"


# use interface (eth0,eth1...)
IFACE="eth0"


# syncid to use
SYNCID="1"

IP Virtual Server version 1.2.1 (size=4096)
Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags

  -> 66-237-51-34.starstream.net: Route   75     0          0

What am I missing? I feel like I'm VERY close!

Any help is appreciated and please be gentle. Been leaing Ubuntu on my own like many others.
