The RFC for VRRP seems to indicate that every VIP should get its own MAC address. It doesn't appear that that is the way the keepalived works. It appears to use the native MAC address of the NIC for the VIP and creates a MAC address for the broadcast address. Is this the way its supposed to work? The mechanism to transition the VIP to another machine being the ARP broadcast as opposed to one machine dropping the MAC and another picking it up?
