CARP does not require special support, I suppose. Rather, it requires a more feature-rich switch not blocking its traffic (multicast). In other words: if you don't disable it on the switch, it should work. CARP has worked fine for me since 3.5, on switches ranging from E 15,- (the infamous 'Sweex' type for those in the Netherlands) to large HP and Cisco devices. That includes VLANs, both tagged and not. Give it a spin. If your present switch poses problems, insert a 'dirt-cheap and dumb' device between the problematic switch and the CARP'ed interfaces. And make sure you don't block CARP packets in your firewall. Cheers, Rogier -- If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there.
