This is great feedback. Thank you all. So let me be more specific. This is only Active/Standby; no active/active config. There are self IPs and a floating IP for the egress VLAN (server side), but only self IPs for the ingress VLAN (client side). In this situation traffic server-side should not be effected because there is already a floating IP address for that VLAN. In this situation my only concern would be firewall/access control mechanisms as stated by Cory, correct?
