No. VRRP is a failover system. It has nothing to do
with load balancing.
------------------------------------------------
I have seen this before:
rtr1 and rtr2 have two vrrp groups. rtr1 is set for
primary on, say, .1 and rtr2 primary for .2. Then,
the dfg of all odd IP addresses (or some selection
process like that) is .1 and all even IP addresses
have a dfg of .2. There're endless variations, but
the idea is the same. And you still get the vrrp
failover when one router gets pissed off and walks
away.
