Is there really a sense of Primary and Secondary, or are both nodes equal?
I have not set up a redundant director recently, but in most of the
HA clustering I am working with these days, one node is as good as
another, and there is no concept in many cases of failing back to the
primary once the problem with the primary has been resolved.

Can it go four letters?  Could try RDIP (Real Director IP), but then
the DIP might need to become the VDIP.  This must be getting close to
mature technology, as the need for acronyms is increasing.  ;)
