While I've only seen this issue with crappy upstream providers, it *is* possible that they need to clear their arp cache. I have two firewall/routers using VRRP. When I fail over to the secondary, it takes about 15 minutes for my upstream provider to notice despite sending gratuitous ARP broadcasts telling them something has changed. I'm not sure how long of an outage you can afford, but one possible line of troubleshooting is waiting to see how long it takes for your Vyatta box to be noticed. Not sure if your upstream provider is like mine, but I got nowhere with their NOC. Course that's my fault for colocating with a provider who specializes in broadband/dialup, not colo. The other poster had a good idea too. Go ahead and set your Vyatta MAC to that of your Cisco box. This [should] ease the transition.
