If the broadcast probes come from eth0, the IP addresses on
eth0 are not hidden. One interface is hidden for broadcast probes coming
from different devices only.
The ident problem can't be solved with routing. The ident
proto does not rely on the routing to select source address for the
outgoing connection. The software simply binds to VIP.
But if the VIP is mentioned as prefereed source address in routes
I assume it will be selected. The restriction is for the autoselection
when there is no preferred source address. In this case the hidden
interfaces are skipped and IP address from another device is selected.
