Yeah, we have a number of boxes also using it from rc.conf - I'm trying to 
avoid rc.conf here though - as I need the interfaces to come up as INIT 
(i.e. not enabled / up) - to avoid any possibility of the box coming up, 
and 'stealing' MASTER even if the other machine is down... (something which 
you apparently can't achieve with rc.conf).
