The vrrpd daemon doesn't "join" or "unjoin" groups/instances. When vrrpd 
is started, it creates vrrp instances/groups according to the 
configuration file, if it exists; later the user can use vrrpadm to ask 
vrrpd to create new instances/groups, destroy/modify/startup/shutdown 
existing instances/groups. Changes to one instance/group don't affect 
other instances/groups, and no changes/operations require vrrpd to start.
(We're still thinking about your comments about using SMF service 
instances. If they're used, the above statement may change, though.)
We'll add some explanation to the design doc to make it clearer.

Sure. Will add some discussion to the doc.

Thanks.
