For us, it is a way to bind a daemon to a floating address. Our daemons 
need to run permanently, and active one is selected by simply assigning 
floating address to the network interface (with arp_ignore/arp_announce 
sysctls set properly).

Something alike may be achieved by setting ip_nonlocal_bind, but our way 
is more strict.
