[j-nsp] Roubustness question regaring OSPF and VRRP

[Andrey A. Ryazanov]

Hi there.

There're no performance problems. VRRP is just simple protocol to make a number of 
gateways to decide which one exactly will forward all the traffic directed to a virtual 
MAC address of the VRRP group.

However it is a better choice to split routing capable and routing incapable nodes into 
different VLANs, or choose another routing protocol (eg. RIPv2) which is supported by 
both of your node types.

And don't you forget to update your lo0.0 filter to be sure it passes VRRP messages. 
Otherwise all of your gateways will be thinking they are the only on the net.
