hi,
I am new to VRRP and need help from u to understand operational issue of 8.1 in RFC 2338. This tells that ICMP redirects may be used normally when VRRP is running between a group of routers. When the condition to send ICMP redirect will arise in VRRP. 
What i understood from the RFC is:
1. VRRP is running between a group of Routers.

-------------30.0.0.0 NW        ---------40.0.0.0 NW
    |                                |
    |                                |
VRRP Router 3                    VRRP Router 4
    | vrid = 1, 10.0.0.3            |vrid =1, 10.0.0.4
    |                               |
------------------------------------------------
    |                               |
    |                               |
    | vrid=2, 10.0.0.1              |vrid=2,10.0.0.2
VRRP Router 1                      VRRP Router 2

2 Suppose VRRP router2 is acting as master for the IP address 10.0.0.3.
3. A packet is arrived with destination address 30.0.0.1 to VRRP router 1. Then VRRP router 1 sends the packet to VRRP router 4 as address owner downs.
4. Fails route lookup in VRRP router 4.
5. Does it mean the VRRP router 4 should send ICMP redirect message with destination address as src address of the IP packet received and src address of ICMP redirect as the virtual router address???????

Is it wrong in understanding ????
Any help would be greatly appreciated?
thanks and regards,
ramana
