Not part of LVS except in the sense that they are the addresses for
management. In my case, the LVS admin is the same as the sysadmin (and
network admin, cable puller, coffee maker, etc., etc. ^_^). Aren't they also
the interfaces that the heartbeat broadcasts are picked up on? I guess
heartbeat isn't technically part of LVS.
