Yeah that would be the OpenBSD man pages. They are authoritative. When things change, they get updated, or people get beaten. In particular, see pf.conf(5), pfct.(8), pf(4) and the SEE ALSOs in each. Beyond that, there are several websites and books. My personal favorite website is the OpenBSD website itself, but I may be biased. :) OK what book? I'm a PF users and I used it for non-trivial tasks. So I all (take with gain of salt) most at the level of many docs. Also PF is a moving target. I wished (wish is the correct word) all authoritative document. Give to prefect my PF chops. Are there any site where talk about PF is a application (like for OS X). probably. There's a website for just about everything. Talk is cheap. OS X has PF, but there's a interface that limits what you can do. They don't document their interface to it. OS X has lot of fancy way to do trivial thinks you meant not want done. One Last, has anyone done any work on using CARP, Quite a few people have, yes. ;) I know synchronizations depends on similar cpus with similar clocks and constrained clock drift. read it in a book but I thank you are well within their bounds. The book makes the statement that given a set of hosts which can communicate. It is impossible for a given host to tell the difference between a slow host and a failed host( in the absence of timeouts). So if the timeout is too fast on a fast host it may think a slow host has failed. The book doesn't give parameter for this kind of failure. This answer my question because I was had close matching machine but not exactly. oh? News to me. And the Celeron 600 that I CARPed with a PIII-750. Don't really have to even be the same platform, though it can create administrative problems (On this machine, carp0 is on the dc0, on that machine, it's on hme3). Nick.

Browser requests take forever to complete, Make sure your DNS is working and that you're using the right one. A Domain Namer server (DNS) map host names to ip addresses. Many network applications query DNS. try : use dig : dig @your DNS . some site A example : dig @ns1.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com If browsers is slow but renders nevertheless. DNS could be the problem. I can't ping verizon.com, traceroute doesn't Can you ping using the ip address. Try pinging : 209.125.236.3 www.yahoo.com It the first work and the second doesn't it could be your DNS work through the new verizon dsl modem which assigns a local address of 192.168.1.47 to my computer. The modem has address 192.168.1.1. Here is some sample console I'm not sure that the Warning: mindspring.com has multiple addresses is part of the problem. Mindspring and newedge networks are merging log showing the ping and traceroute problems. I called Verizon technical support, but it is useless. Any ideas about how to fix this?
