hi rajesh,

I'm not sure if my posting to the list is working
correctly, anyways... you should be safe turning
multicast loopback off in your implementation.
loopback is most appropriate on a multiuser host
system
where you've got multiple users subscribed to same
multicast group (say some multiuser game) and you want
all the local users on the system to hear the
transmission from one another.

in vrrp you should only have one instance running on
an interface and there's no real purpose in hearing
it's own transmissions.  and vrrp on multiple
interfaces operate independently and do not hear 
each others transmissions.
