With carp, the IP address should already be bound to the spare server, just not active. If you check the status of CARP on the main server, it should list that IP as active and on the backup server as backup. Might want to verify your configs in CARP.

I'd like to set up a redundant HAProxy server using CARP failover in FreeBSD so the spare server will automatically snatch up the "listen" IP and balance out our server farm. I can get HAProxy configured, but it won't actually start unless the IP is already bound to the box. Suggestions? (latest haproxy-devel from FreeBSD ports) ---Daniel
