vrrp on FreeBSD is supposed to be a free solution to allow machines to
watch each other and take over IP addressing if connectivity is lost.
Depending on how remote your IP blocks are and how much control you have

Two things to keep in mind: VRRP is not a load balancing solution, it is a 
failover solution and (AFAIK) VRRP only operates within-network.
