Maybe I am missing something, but how does VRRP/HSRP cause latency? On 12/19/09 3:45 AM, Scott Berkman wrote:

Might need to know a little more about the layout here for a better answer.

This may be slightly off topic however I have a very unique situation where I need to provide two diverse paths to a major stock exchange. Each host may either use route A or B for any given reason to access this particular exchange using two distinct routers and target address.
The applicatiOn running on these hosts must only see/use one target address this needs to be transparent as possible. NIC bonding/teaming on the host side isn't a viable solution because of the latency overhead same goes for vrrp/hsrp.
I believe my only option here is to setup multiple default routes with a preferred path of some sort. This seems to be possible using ip route2 on Linux.
This just seems wrong on many levels and I thought I would post here because I know there is something obvious I'm missing. Please clue me in.
Thanks.
