Write a script to delete the route for hme0 and then re-add it (following
which it will appear after hme0:1), and run it after Cluster Server has
configured the virtual IP. e.g.:

#!/bin/sh
route delete net 192.9.208.0 192.9.208.252
route add net 192.9.208.0 192.9.208.252 0

(You could probably write something fancier using netstat, grep &
/etc/hostname.* to locate the correct route without hardwiring it into the
script.)

Alternatively, authorise the static host IPs as well as the cluster
addresses.
