[c-nsp] FWSM failover question...

Just finished configuration/installation of a secondary FWSM for
failover (active/standby), but it is not behaving as expected (I have
ASAs in similar configurations).  There are standby IPs configured on
the vlans, and they respond to pings from the 6500 itself, but not
otherwise.

The ARPs show up properly, but on the "show mac address" lists the
primary MAC on each of the firewall-group vlans, but the secondary MAC
only appears for the failover vlan.

Is this normal?  The ASAs answer on either address, and the MACs
populate all their vlans.  But not the FWSM.
