One note: due to limitations in the routing socket message format, the IFF_FAILED and IFF_IPMP flags will not be visible in rtm_flags. As such, you'll need to use the RTM_IFINFO message as hint that you should call SIOCGLIFFLAGS and check to see if the flags have changed. > > - if possible, move one virtual IP address from one active interface to > > another one the same IPMP group > > The kernel has control over which IP addresses are bound to which active > interfaces.
