What is the common idiom in this case? Use multicast MAC Adresses. And yes, some routers do not learn multicast MAC addresses. You would have to configure these addresses statically. I wrote an article about that (CLUSTERIP target of iptables) in the German "Linux Magazin". It will be published in the English version soon. For the use of CLUSTERIP in a Linux-HA RA see: http://www.linux-ha.org/ClusterIP
CLUSTERIP is definitely seems to be the way to go. Thank you for the valuable information. Looks like the iptables package distributed with Ubuntu is lacking support for the CLUSTERIP target (according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iptables/+bug/113863), so I will have to roll out my own.
