Hi Dominique,

The reason there currently has been a limit of 1 VRRP session per 
physical interface is that the vrrp project we are using pulls the 
current mac address from the interface as the physical mac address.

So, if there are 2 VRRP sessions assigned to a single physical 
interface. The second VRRP session to assume master will pull the 
virtual mac address of the first and use this as the physical address of 
the interface. Then bad things happen...

The good news is that we've been looking into alternate packages for 
VRRP. And even better news (perhaps), is that there is a non-rfc2338 
compliant flag that will not insert the virtual mac address when a 
session assumes master. In this case the limitation of one VRRP session 
per physical interface should go away (with this option enabled that 
is). We're also looking at possibly exposing this too.
