My Voyager page does show it's a VPN210, not a IP330, and it doesn't have
the VRRP section.  But why would it be different?  I'm not sure if we can
afford another 20k+ to buy 2 new IP330s...

Is there any way around it?

If you have an IP330 and not a VPN210 or 220 then yes it will support VRRP.
You can always check Voyager for the VRRP section.

Be aware that you will need a identical FW module license to your current
machine, you have to be able to support what ever internal licensing you
have configured if the primary fails over. So if you have an unlimited
license now then the second machine will also need an unlimited license.

Also if you ever decide to implement HA VPN you have to have a separate
management console, it can not run on one of you firewall modules.
