I far as I now, please correct me if I'm wrong, you don't need the syncgroup if 
you only have one interface.

I got it working with this configuration:

On master:
----------

global_defs {
  lvs_id lvs_test
}

vrrp_instance VI_1 {
    interface eth0
    state MASTER
    lvs_sync_daemon_interface eth0
    virtual_router_id 50
    priority 150
    advert_int 1
    virtual_ipaddress {
        11.81.19.203
    }
    preempt
}

#
# http
#
virtual_server 11.81.19.203 80 {
  delay_loop 6
  lb_algo wrr
  lb_kind DR
  protocol TCP
  ha_suspend

  real_server 11.81.19.44 80 {
    weight 1
    TCP_CHECK {
      connect_port    80
      connect_timeout 15
    }
  }

  real_server 11.81.19.45 80 {
    weight 1
    TCP_CHECK {
      connect_port    80
      connect_timeout 15
    }
  }
}


On backup:
----------

global_defs {
  lvs_id lvs_test2
}

vrrp_instance VI_1 {
    interface eth0
    state BACKUP
    lvs_sync_daemon_interface eth0
    virtual_router_id 50
    priority 100
    advert_int 1
    virtual_ipaddress {
        11.81.19.203
    }
    preempt
}

#
# http
#
virtual_server 11.81.19.203 80 {
  delay_loop 6
  lb_algo wrr
  lb_kind DR
  protocol TCP
  ha_suspend

  real_server 11.81.19.44 80 {
    weight 1
    TCP_CHECK {
      connect_port    80
      connect_timeout 15
    }
  }

  real_server 11.81.19.45 80 {
    weight 1
    TCP_CHECK {
      connect_port    80
      connect_timeout 15
    }
  }
}

I haven't tested with authentication.
