OK, poorly thought out example.

FYI, in heartbeat you can specify which interface to use for the
service IP, though like rgmanager, you generally don't have to:

RG Manager will add the floating interfaces to the "correct" interface, that is, if your floating ip is 1.2.3.4 and you have a interface with the IP address 1.2.3.3 he will add the IP to that interface.
