It would be really nice if cisco supported "ping a.b.c.d source a.b.c.X" where a.b.c.X was the virtual IP - it would solve a couple of problems including this one. Unfortunately, they don't support it: > % Invalid source address- IP address not on any of our up interfaces sigh. You could hack around this by spoofing ping echo requests using the VIP as source address from another machine on the same vlan, although if you did this, I'd recommend disabling mac learning on that port because otherwise you will confuse the switch. Otherwise, it's timeout territory. Do this during a maintenance window and plan for a little downtime.
