I'm using stock 4.0 release for testing purpose and I don't intend to use it in production. > Btw, you might consider using ifstated(8) > instead of scripting sth w/ ifconfig(8). I don't understand what you are saying here. I explicitely showed the commands which can lead to my setup. They are usually handled by netstart(8) and hostname.if(5). Moreover, I don't really see the point in using ifstated(8). As far as I understand, net.inet.carp.preempt matches the problem by raising advskew to 240 on all carp(4) interface whenever there is a failure. ifstated(8) would be useful if I had to run something upon state change. Am I wrong ? Best regards, -- Jeremie Le Hen < jeremie at le-hen dot org >< ttz at chchile dot org >
