I am. Here's a sample of a keepalived.conf I'm using (Identical on all nodes
apart from the name of the interface and track_interface, which is unique
per node):
http://www.fpaste.org/198754/
I tried putting a unique priority per node, that gave me the same result,
which after looking at the code makes sense.

What I'm seeing is that when the master goes down, the other 2 nodes go to MASTER,
then to STANDBY, then to master again, rinse and repeat. Sometimes one of the node
'wins' after 60 seconds, sometimes it can go on for 15 minutes or more.
One of the 2 says it received a lower priority message and goes to standby:
https://github.com/acassen/keepalived/blob/master/keepalived/vrrp/vrrp.c#L1010

The other says it received a higher priority message and goes to standby:
https://github.com/acassen/keepalived/blob/master/keepalived/vrrp/vrrp.c#L1037
