+Allows you to deploy gateway and back-end load-sharing clusters without the
+need of load-balancers.
+.PP
+This match requires that all the nodes see the same packets. Thus, the cluster
+match decides if this node has to handle a packet given the following options:
+.TP
+\fB\-\-cluster\-total\-nodes \fInum\fP
+Set number of total nodes in cluster.
+.TP
+[\fB!\fP] \fB\-\-cluster\-local\-node \fInum\fP
+Set the local node number ID.
+.TP
+[\fB!\fP] \fB\-\-cluster\-local\-nodemask \fImask\fP
+Set the local node number ID mask. You can use this option instead
+of \fB\-\-cluster\-local\-node.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-cluster\-hash\-seed \fIvalue\fP
+Set seed value of the Jenkins hash.
+.PP
+Example:
+.IP
+iptables \-A PREROUTING \-t mangle \-i eth1 \-m cluster \
+\-\-cluster\-total\-nodes 2 \-\-cluster\-local\-node 1 \
+\-\-cluster\-hash\-seed 0xdeadbeef \
+\-j MARK \-\-set-mark 0xffff

+iptables \-A PREROUTING \-t mangle \-i eth2 \-m cluster \

+\-\-cluster\-hash\-seed 0xdeadbeef \
+\-j MARK -\-set\-mark 0xffff
+.IP
+iptables \-A PREROUTING \-t mangle \-i eth1 \
+\-m mark ! \-\-mark 0xffff \-j DROP
+.IP
+iptables \-A PREROUTING \-t mangle \-i eth2 \
+\-m mark ! \-\-mark 0xffff \-j DROP
+.PP
+And the following commands to make all nodes see the same packets:
+.IP
+ip maddr add 01:00:5e:00:01:01 dev eth1
+.IP
+ip maddr add 01:00:5e:00:01:02 dev eth2

+In the case of TCP connections, pickup facility has to be disabled
