[Linux-HA] Heartbeat with virtual MAC and IP

We have a stable 2 node system running under a virtual ip, (Gentoo 
2.6.10-gentoo-r6 2x2.8Ghz 2Gb RAM) I'm running into an issue with an 
application I want to run on the ha cluster. The app ties it's 
licenseing to MAC address, so in order to have it running on both nodes, 
I'll need to construct a system that applies a virtual hw ether address 
to the virtaul ip'd interface as well as a mon configuration that can 
start this software's daemon after failover.

Basically looking for a quick and dirty way to give the virtual ip it's 
own vitual made-up MAC address.

Sorry if this has been gone over 1000K times...
