Yes, I had read that.
Since this two boxes are, amidst other things, acting as routers, I do 
want the interface pair to go into master state all at once.
However I had understood that, once the other box comes up again, the 
two interfaces which had switched should go back to backup state and be 
masters on the alive-again host.
In other words, after one server solved its troubles, I should have the 
initial status again.
How can I accomplish this?

BTW, I used to have this working on 4.x using the now discontinued 
freevrrpd port. I can't believe this is not possible anymore now.
