If the problem is intermittent, then it is possible that vrrp communication fails between primary and the secondary (usually L2 problem). Increasing the vrrp hello interval will help to avoid poor performance problems.

For some unknown reason, the external interface on the secondary box keeps assuming the role of the master even though the primary box is active. This is causing me no end of grief as packets are being routed between the 2 boxes. There has been not change to the network topology and I am at my wits end running on one box at the moment. I had to disable the secondary box for my sanity but I would appreciate any help in resolving this problem.
