yup, but sometime we need a 255.255.255.255 netmask to forbit the host
don't reply to any ARP requests.
for example, you have the realservers behind the LVS, if the LVS is
running on DR or Tunning mode, you need to bind the VIP on realservers
and let the hosts don't reply any arp requests to that VIP. Sorry if I
have let people confused.
