Redundant Virtual Router support in Isolated network with network mode set to Routed Dynamic #11565

Description

@sjanssen15

Feature request

At the moment, the Isolated network with Routed Dynamic network mode only supports running with a single virtual router. This means in the event of a host or VM failure, there will be a network outache of about 5 to 7 minutes. This virtual router is the default gateway of all VM's in this network, so the impact can mean downtime and loss of services (DHCP, DNS, networking).

Solution

It would be great to have the same implementation as the "natted" virtual router type where keepalived is used between an active and passive virtual router in order to give redundancy.

    good idea

    though VR does not act as the source nat in routed network, it acts as the gateway so redundancy is important for routed network and router vpc
