Two things to keep in mind: VRRP is not a load balancing solution, it is a

You are very correct sir. :-) The load balancing part from the same

and (AFAIK) VRRP only operates within-network.

I haven't seen anything that said one way or another on this part. I think
we would have to know more about the network that is considering deploying
this to know if the IP addressing could be re-routed to the backup
interface that comes up in the event of a failure.
