This is what I had: /etc/hostname.carp0: up 184.159.29.23 vhid 1
/etc/hostname.carp1: up 192.168.1.1 vhid 1 I can use up or inet, right? The syntax would be something like this: inet 184.159.29.23 255.255.255.0 184.159.29.255 vhid 1, right? Then again, how would not having a netmask on the carp interface block certain subnets, but not all of them? I'll let you know once I've put in the netmask & broadcast to see if it works. Thanks a bunch!
