I haven't do this yet but according the `ServerIron TrafficWorks Server Load 
Balancing Guide` on page 7-4 you have to use the 'Standard Hot Standby' 
method via the "server backup/server source-standby-ip/server source-ip" 
configuration commands. VRRP is available with the optional L3 upgrade only. 

Hope that helps.
