title: keepalived - multiple VRRP instances vs. 1 instance with multiple VIPs
body: <p>I need <a href="http://www.keepalived.org/" rel="nofollow">keepalived</a> to manage several Virtual IP addresses on the same network interface.</p>
  
  <p>I'm wondering, what are the advantages and disadvantages of having <code>keepalived</code> configured with different VRRP instances (let's say 1 VRRP instance per 1 Virtual IP) as oppose to have just one VRRP Instance with all Virtual IPs in it?</p>
  
  <p>I should mention that all of the Virtual IPs are on the same VLAN.</p>
