Hopefully somebody can shed some light in helping me to understand
something I am seeing on a 4.2 box. I am experimenting with a daemon
that implements something very close to the VRRP (Virtual Router
Redundancy Protocol). The VRRP portion of the daemon works correctly.
The problem I am having has to do with the source IP address after a
host
has transitioned from "slave" to "master" mode.
The problem can be illustrated on a standard 4.2 system not
running the VRRP daemon by the following command line actions:

^^^^ why is 192.168.23.85 still showing up?? This address should be
gone.

I have attached the source code to the getLocalIP program. Can
anybody explain this? Thanks in advance for your help.
