Unable to access mysql remotely using virtual ip
===

I installed mysql in two debian machine. I am implementing replication and High availability between them. I have achieved replication. For High Availability I have assign an virtual IP **192.168.1.175** to both the machine.
I am able to login mysql remotely in both the machine using static ip but not using the virtual ip. 

Suppose in machine1 MySQL is running and on machine2 MySQL is stopped.
and I try to run the command on machine1
<pre> bin/mysql -h 192.168.1.175 -u root -pmyPwd </pre>
It successfully login in the using the mysql running on machine1 
But when the same command is run from machine2 It gives the following Error:
<pre>ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.1.175' (111)</pre>

and vice versa.
I googled for the error and found to comment the following line in the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file as the solution
<pre>bind-address = 127.0.0.1 </pre> but This line is not present in my.cnf file. There is no firewall too. 
I am wondering that if I am able to remotly login using the static ip of the machines then why not using the virtual ip.

Please help me to solve this problem.

Thanks
