Hello,

I've noticed that when I use "synproxy state" on a rule and a connection comes in to an IP on a CARP interface the connection opens but never gets passed on to the process as it should.

For example:

pass in on $ext_if proto tcp from any to any port ssh flags S/SA synproxy state

Will work fine if I come in to a non-CARP IP. The connection is accepted and then brokered to SSHd.

However on the same machine with the same rule if I come in to a CARP'd IP it connects but hangs (not passed on to SSHd).

If I remove the "synproxy state" portion the CARP test case works.

I've done a bunch of flipping and testing and it seems that CARP IP + PF rule with "synproxy state" doesn't work -- the connection will be accepted but not passed on like it should.

Is this known behaviour? Is there a work around? Anything else anyone wants to know?

I've noticed this too: the physical interface seems to "include" the CARP interfaces associated with it. That above rule I pasted applies to the CARP interface even though its specifying "bce0" as the value for $ext_if (vs. a rule for "carp1", etc) Is that normal/expected?

I did notice in the docs that "synproxy state" doesn't work with bridge interfaces, is a CARP interface maybe falling into this category?

Any input/thoughts appreciated!
