Yes, it was tcpdump output. This is the command string I used

tcpdump -n port 123 &

Then I did the ntpdate -q commands on the same system.

This really isn't a heartbeat issue, per se.  All heartbeat does for
managing a virtual IP is set up an alias for eth0 (or whatever),
called eth0:0.  It has the same MAC address as the original NIC.

As to what the Linux network stack does is anyone's guess.  I have
access to RHEL5 and RHEL5 boxes; Ill try to reproduce this next
week.

Your original post included what seemed to be a tcpdump output;
what host did you genernate that on, and what arguments did you
use?
