I am targetting the VIP address and also thought it would work as both the
HW and SW client are using the Unity Client protocol so as far as I was
aware are seen the same from the routers perspective.

Do you know for a fact the SW client will do automatic reconnection when a
tunnel fails do to the primary router going down which will then result in
a reconnection to the secondary?
