This is kind of trivial, bit I'm coming up short on names for the following 
simple setup:

+---------+
| clients |
+---------+
     |CIP
     |
  (router)
     |
-----+--------------+------
     | a,VIP        | b,(VIP)
+----------+  +----------+
|  master  |__|  standby |
| director |  | director |
+----------+  +----------+
     | PIP,DIP      |SIP,(DIP)
-----+--------------+-----
     | RIP1         |RIP2
+------------+  +------------+
| realserver |  | realserver |
|     1      |  |     2      |
+------------+  +------------+


Let's say this is a NAT setup with redundant directors (running heartbeat). So 
the directors each have a primary IP address, and either may have the VIP as 
it's secondary on one adapter. Each will have a primary address on the 
realserver network, and either may have the DIP as a secondary.

The realservers each have their own primary IPs (RIPs).

The HOWTO calls the primary IPs that the directors have on the realserver 
network PIP and SIP. What are the names for the primary IPs that the 
directors have on their outbound interfaces (a and b in the diagram)?

It would help when documenting setups to have these all labeled in a standard 
way...
