Create a loopback interface on the servers with the VIP. Point a static route for the VIP at the servers physical address, make the VIP on the same subnet as the physicals. Let CEF take care of it. You lose a lot of dynamic capabilities that are available via monitoring. You'll need Enhanced Object Tracking to monitor that the server is alive.
