IPMultiNIC Agent

Works with the MultiNICA agent. Manages the virtual IP address configured as an alias on one interface of a MultiNICA resource. If the interface faults, the agent works with the MultiNICA resource to fail over to a backup NIC. If multiple service groups have IPMultiNICs associated with the same MultiNICA resource, only one group should have the MultiNICA resource. The other groups have Proxy resources pointing to it.
