I have SSH installed, and UCARP configured to fail over a virtual IP when one of the two boxes goes down. The problem that I'm having is when a VM is running, and the ucarp interface is active (eth0:ucarp), I cannnot ssh to the VM using the eth0 address; I can only get to it using the eth0:ucarp address.

I used this guide to set up UCARP: http://laurentbel.com/2012/04/04/simple-failover-cluster-on-ubuntu-using-carp/

Is there a way to configure ssh to only run on eth0, or make eth0 the 'primary' interface for ssh? Right now, if I try to ssh to the eth0 address, there is no response (the connection times out).

Here is my /etc/networking/interfaces file:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    ###
    # standard config
    ###
    address 192.168.1.7
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.1.1
    network 192.168.1.0
    broadcast 192.168.1.255

    ###
    # ucarp config
    ###
    # vid: the ID of the virtual server [1-255]
    ucarp-vid 1
    # vip: the virtual IP
    ucarp-vip 192.168.1.3
    # password
    ucarp-password info322
    # advskew: Advertisement skew [1-255]
    ucarp-advskew 1
    # advbase: Interval in seconds that advertisements will occur
    ucarp-advbase 1
    # master: determine if this server is the master
    ucarp-master yes

# The carp network interface, on top of eth1
iface eth0:ucarp inet static
    address 192.168.1.3
    netmask 255.255.255.0
