The VIP is the address which you want to load balance i.e. the address of
your website, this is not the IP of any of the boxes normally it's the
'Virtual IP (VIP)' and as such is just put onto the back of another LAN card
as eth0:1 or whatever, the main reason I see for this is so that it (the
VIP) can be swapped between two directors if a fault is detected on one.
Just how I see it.
