Application is support of VRRP (RFC2338), for which the virtual router addresses need to be associated with an overloaded (i.e. non-local) unicast MAC address. I'm hunting through the kernel, but have yet to find any clean interface to do this. I'm quite happy to implement such an interface, but some advice on an acceptable approach would be most welcome.
