Yes - this can be done with heartbeat, at http://www.linux-ha.org/. The
LinuxVirtualServer project has pointers to this too, see
http://www.LinuxVirtualServer.org/.

This basically involves running address takeover on two interfaces if one box
fails. This is not as good as having VRRP (the standarised version of the
proprietary HSRP), but it is better than nothing and works.

Feel free to pay someone to implement VRRP though! ;)
