You can do two things

1. Use a virtual_ipaddress_excluded { ... } block.
2. Just add more ip's and keepalived will give an error during startup 
and it will fix it by itself. It will have the same effect as the 
virtual_ipaddress_excluded block but it is not as nice.

I do recommend using the 'use_vmac' option when doing this. I had a 
problem that the arp addresses of the ip's in the 
virtual_ipaddress_excluded block kept pointing to the old mac.

Greets,

Sander
