One issue could be the fact that the standby address is only used as the
default gateway for workstations. Routing protocols use the physical
address.
Another issue could be the fact that you have both MSFC's configured
seperately, not as a redundant pair. In this case, half of your VLAN's are
being routed by one MSFC, while the other half are routed by the second.
You'll run into some assymentric routing issues with this configuration, but
they can be worked through. The plus for this config, is that you have twice
the processing power to handle process switched packets.
