What would be cool is if FreeBSD could do VRRP. This is usually used
for providing a default route handled by two physical boxen, but if
you turn it around and provide a route to a service IP address that
may be handled by two boxen that deal with fail-over using VRRP then
this solves the problem discussed in this thread.
I'd be interested to know of a free implementation of VRRP for the BSD
network stack.
