I have a theory here, though... you're doing NAT. Therefore the director
is the default gateway for the realservers - is the address of their
default gateway the same as the VIP?
Not at the moment. These are ancient (hospital-specific) servers, which
we're not allowed to modify. Well, not allowed .... i prefer not to change
it if it can be done in some other way. If it can't .. well .... :)
If not, you need another vrrp_instance defined which makes the default
gateway fail over to the backup director.

I'll try that, and i just got another idea here: what if i spoof a mac
address (macchanger) and have it fail over to the other director (via the
notify_* scripts)? Would that work?
Kind regards,
Sebastian
