I use ucarp for years. It's lovely piece of software - small, reliable,
customizable (ucarp calls shell scripts when enters in master/backup
state - they can virtually do anything - add extra addresses or routes,
bring up daemons, etc. etc.). ucarp has also one delicious feature - 
when their eth link is down they don't try to enter in master state, 
assuming that disappearing master is result of local (link) problem. 

Works fine for linux-based, redundant routers and proxies.
