Thanks, Chip.  So am I basically up the creek for manual proxy ARPs?  I want
to avoid using automatic NATs until I have a chance to properly review the
policy and NAT rules for this cluster.

SPLAT R55 (at least after HFA08) gratuitously ARP's using the primary
members MAC address.  CheckPoint HA does not use a seperate
virtual/cluster MAC address.
