Hi all,

Once an ARP request comes with a defualt gateway IP
address(which is the vitual IP address), the Master of
the group sends a reply with virtual MAC address. Now
the host sends an Ethernet frame with this VMAC as the
destination address.

How is this VMAC address mapped to the real address of
the master so that the frame reaches the master?

Regards
Rajesh
