Do not provide broadcast address when configuring VIP.
As VIP is part from some subnet, the broadcast addresses are
automatically generated by the kernel when the primary (first)
IP in subnet was added, see fib_add_ifaddr() for reference.
VIPs should be configured with /32 (255.255.255.255 netmask),
so no broadcast is created for them, for example:
1. add RIP/24 on eth0 (first and last address are created as broadcasts)
2. add VIP/32 on lo (for real server) or on eth0 (for director)
