...this however can be a problem.
BTW, stupid question: If your incoming requests come through different
interfaces,
do they all leave through the same one and go to the realservers? Sketch:

If the setup looks like this, you can still do some kind of VS-DR approach
without having to deal with the arp-problem. I used this setup together with
HP/UX 10.20 and 11 boxes.
