Sorry, it is my mistake. It should be 5 ARP packets for each IP address,
and 10 for both the VIP and the NAT router IP. I saw the log file as
follows:

I don't know if the target addresses of the 2 send_arp commands are set
correctly. I am not sure if it is different when broadcast or source IP is
used as target address, or any target address is OK. 

Thanks,
