When the machine brings up the VIP, you have to tell the router
*somehow* that the VIP has changed to a new MAC address. The easiest way
to do this is to use ping:
ping -n -w 10 -I $VIP $router_ip
In other words:
-n : don't resolve names
-w : run for no more than this many seconds regardless of results
-I : bind to this interface
That *should*, ideally, tell the router that the MAC has changed. Note
however that you should only use this for a gateway on the same LAN; if
you;re doing anything clever (ie. with multiple routers) it may not work
at all. Also if you've got more than one upstream router (such as an
HSRP setup) then you'll need to ping all participating devices.

PS It's easier to use heartbeat or keepalived for this, trust me!
