It's been a while, so i'll throw this out again, just to further
beat the reanimated corpse of this dead horse.

Is there any news with regards to a vrrp implementation for
open? Is cisco still defending this?

It seems a shame, i seem to remember theo saying he has a vrrp
implementation all wrapped up and finished, but it will never
see the light of day due to cisco.

How does freebsd get around this with freevrrpd in their ports?
