I can't comment on the "what it might have done in the olden days" part,
but you could bind all your VIPs to the loopback adapter and have
fallback services run exactly as you'd expect (I think).
A little bit, in fact, like the realservers have to be setup in a -DR
configuration.
It's perfectly alright to have the VIP on a real ethernet interface
*and* lo. I know this is alright, because it's how we do streamlined HA
+LB here for our virtual learning environment :)
