Would it be possible for this to be set when the list delivers mail?
Most other mailing lists do and it's a bit of a lifesaver for those
who are used to hitting "reply" to reply to the list.

   

Doesn't your mail client feature a "Reply to all" button ?

For what is worth, I haven't got any problems in 5 days since I switched 
em0 and re0 roles. I can't tell if it's related to the NICs themselves. 
I wish I could make any further tests, but this is a production 
platform... If I manage to get that type of hardware again, or a 
comfortable maintenance window, I'll run a new stress test and let you know.

Does the pfsync traffic lead to CPU overload before the business traffic 
do ?

I'd rather run pfsync in its own vlan than over a realtek card. It's
probably not any slower (what could be slower than a realtek...) and
it's not really any less reliable (what use is pfsync if your "business"
network goes down?)

   
I tought I'd better run pfsync over a direct connection rather that 
through the switches. In case of failure of a switch, the sync has a 
chance to be complete and the failover "cleaner", but maybe I'm wrong...

Simon Morvan wrote the following on 27/05/2009 2:28 AM:Hello all,

I've set up two OpenBSD boxes to act as redundant firewalls in front of
our network and I experience a strange behavior :

After a couple of hours/days one of the box stop functioning properly :
no ping, no more SSH access but I still capture CARP avertisement on the
network segments (when it occurs on the master). As a result, when it
happens on the master, the slave does not take over.

When it happens on the slave, the switch "sees" intermittently  the
virtual CARP mac on the slave port so it disturb the master routing
operations.

When I hook up a screen on the machine, I get back the login screen but
everything is frozen.

I really don't know where I should start looking at to troubleshoot the
issue.

Here's the dmesg, the two boxes are identical. I do VLAN routing on em0
and pfsync on re0 (@ 100BaseFD to be sure there's no issue with the
re(4) driver) :
