Which version of heartbeat are you using? You should get the latest
1.0.1 if you have not done so already.

What does your routing table look like? the IPaddr resource for
hearbteat tries to work out which real interface to add a virtual
interface for the VIP on based on the kernel routing table.
If is routed out 172.20.1.166 after the conflicing looback on
lo:0 is down, then the interface will be brought up on lo:0
instead of eth0:0. I suspect that this is what is happening.

Please send heartbeat questions to the linux-ha or linux-ha-dev
mailing list. You can find out information on these lists
on www.linux-ha.org.
