Sorry my bad... A bit to quick in posting should have RTFM properly. The thing is I had enabled it but then rebooted and had forgotten to put it in sysctl.conf, so it was disabled :(... That what you get when sitting up 26 hours straight and configuring stuff, sleep serves a purpose, don't even want to think of how sloppy my code is from that night :)... Thanks for the help even though I didn't deserve it...

This of course mucks up the routing! So my question > is, how do I best handle this? CARP does this. From the manpage: net.inet.carp.preempt: Allow virtual hosts to preempt each other. It is also used to failover carp interfaces as a group. When the option is enabled and one of the carp enabled physical interfaces goes down, advskew is changed to 240 on all carp interfaces. See also the first example. Disabled by default. > My solution is that I have now started coding a small daemon that will > down the other interface automatically should one fail. That would be ifstated in the tree (not built by default)
