No. VRRP is a failover system. It has nothing to do 
with load balancing.

I have seen this before:

rtr1 and rtr2 have two vrrp groups.  rtr1 is set for 
primary on, say, .1 and rtr2 primary for .2.  Then, 
the dfg of all odd IP addresses (or some selection 
process like that) is .1 and all even IP addresses 
have a dfg of .2.  There're endless variations, but 
the idea is the same.  And you still get the vrrp 
failover when one router gets pissed off and walks 
away.
