Ahh, but you wouldn't be. VRRP is not used on WAN i/f's. If you want
redundancy on the WAN side, you're in for 2 circuits and BGP. Having
provider-independent IP space is also a huge help here (unless you can
get a provider to give you a /19 - good luck!), so you can have
either ISP provide transit to your netblocks (and have the advertisements
heard by anyone who filters announcements shorter than a /19).
The multicasts are only heard on the *LAN* segments on which you've
configured VRRP.
