Hi Nick,

I absolutely have no clue about the behaviour you are
observing.
My response was based on my understanding of HSRP RFC
2281.

This RFC defines the VIP as follows.

On a particular LAN, multiple hot standby groups may
coexist and
overlap. Each standby group emulates a single virtual
router. For each standby group, a single well-known
MAC address is allocated to the group, as well as an
IP address. The IP address SHOULD belong to the
primary subnet in use on the LAN, but MUST differ from
the addresses allocated as interface addresses on all
routers and hosts on the LAN, including virtual IP
addresses assigned to other HSRP groups.

Regards,
Nambi
