Hi James,
Well, uCarp does VRRP in a very simple way but it's not the solution for multiple nodes. I don't know keepalived. Wil it manage with a single intances the placement o IP addresses accross all nodes  and take-over by any other one randomly if a node goes down ?

So what you want is VRRP.
Why not use keepalived ? It's very easy to setup.
