That makes some sense. I did not know the background behind it.

I had been following those instructions. As the service was failing 
over, I was just testing what I had so far. What I should have done was 
push on to the LB setup, but then I would not know the answer to the 
above. So, thanks.

I'm not sure I follow. When we setup something similar in VMware on 
CentOS 7, we could access the floating IP from anywhere. Have I 
misunderstood?

Thanks
