Ian:

Good point, we are assuming that we are going to ping from the closest router to
the host(local segment). If you are a hop or few hops back the host you are
pinging will send the traffic default gateway and not the physical address.

Change the virtual mac address on one of the standby groups:

int vlan 112
standby mac-address 0000:dead:beaf
