I will make it tweakable, I am right now merging a bunch a new patches.

on this topic, Keepalived current code is adding 20th v4 VRRP VIPs in adverts. I get your point, sure, but I will never use in production my side this standard-compliant behaviour… for multicast use-case I must admit it is ok, but for unicast…

will make it in the code in a way that users can select one or another.
