Add/edit the <rm> tag:

	<rm>
                <resources>
                        <ip address="192.168.76.28" monitor_link="yes"/>
		</resources>
                <service name="example1">
                        <ip ref="192.168.76.28"/>
		</service>
		<service name="example2">
                        <ip address="192.168.76.29" monitor_link="yes"/>
		</service>
	</rm>

In example 1, the IP is defined as a global resource which can then be
used by a service (and reassigned, if so desired).

In example 2, the IP is defined as a private resource for the service.

They're functionally equivalent in this case.
