  This seems to be working fine; thanks for all the help!

  We are running into some minor problems on their servers, because the
Linux kernel is insisting on proxy-arping for the virtual IP and
causing some ARP conflicts.

  <http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/docs/arp.html>

  This is a Linux bug or serious misfeature IMHO, but there is a patch
the customer will apply for it as they have built a custom kernel
anyway.

  Apart from this, the solution is working fine even in the VLAN
environment, and has saved us having to dedicate a physical ServerIron
switch port to them.
