Not quite sure, but I think that no cluster-mac is used. They are using
the mac-address of the online nodes interface. During switchover, the
node coming online sends a gratitious arp, to update switches
mac-address tables and routers arp cache

That's what I would have thought, Matt. However, these are all reporting
the MAC address for the active server in the cluster. I was under the
impression that ClusterXL in HA used a separate Virtual MAC address.
I know the Nokias do for VRRP, but I'm using ClusterXL on SPLAT.
