no it's trivial. It's only on Linux that the ARP problem is a disaster.
The other unices are easy. You just configure the VIP on lo with -noarp.
Look in the configure script for how to do it (the configure script
autodetects the OS and will do the right thing for HP-UX - well it's
supposed to, I don't have an HPUX machine to test it on, but it will be
close enough that you can get it to work from there and send me the
patches).
