[-- Attachment #1 --] The HUT Project includes FreeVRRPD. Since Sebastien hasn't rung in here, I will try to clear the air. Sebastien and I are currently rewriting FreeVRRPD to take care of the remaining RFC issues and to cleanup the ARP code. The new version will be completely RFC compliant and will feature a few extra bells and whistles of its own. My development version currently does not update arp cache tables but takes over the Mac. In addition, the master and backup arp address are settable for each VRID. It seems to be running very well if anyone is interested in taking a look at my hacks (no pun intended). Hopefully in the next couple of weeks we will have a new development version posted.
