Hi Guys, That's awesome - thanks to you both for the suggestions. I had overlooked anycast because my Ips are only active on one box at a time, but it makes sense that I'm basically dealing with the same challenges as an anycast setup, thanks Igor.
And thanks Arnd! This is what I was thinking of as a quick fix, but I couldn't find anything useful to change via RPC commands. A shared variable makes perfect sense! I will work through these ideas and post back with whatever I manage to come up with. Thanks! Rhys.

Then you can test the content of this variable to see if this instance is master or not.
