Yes exactly, we've 2 carp interfaces, one for the internal interface, the
second for the external interface; the setup is working with no major issue
for 3 years or so

 The ping I've tried is from the master firewall to a server inside the
network:
firewall -> switch -> xx.xx.xx.12

The switch works ok, if I ping from one server to another one in the same
subnet there's no packet lost so it looks like something on the firewall.
The two machines are idle as 99,9% and no high interrupt or mbuf clusters
number
Thanks!
