Hello all,

I'm a bit surprise there is not VRRP daemon for Solaris (afaik), that's why I 
thinking about write one for our favorite OS. Though, my C skills are not very 
high, and I prefer to work with few others people on this project, that's why I 
ask here.

I see 3 solutions :

- port vrrpd for Solaris (http://off.net/~jme/vrrpd/) (work only on Linux)
- restart svrrpd (http://sourceforge.net/projects/svrrpd/) (not functional yet)
- start a new project from scratch

It's just an idea I had yesterday when someone ask me how to share a virutal IP 
on Solaris. Lot of people ask me this question, that's why I think it's a good 
idea for a new OpenSolaris project.

A word about VRRP :

VRRP (Virtual Router Redundacy Protocol) is an open protocol (RFCs 2338, 3768) 
to share a virtual IP beetween physical devices (routers or servers) on the 
same LAN segment by sending brodcast. It is very simple to use, and helpful to 
make cheap HA.
