Re: PF references
you used the excellent tools as google and http://marc.theaimsgroup.com I guess...

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. Mac OS X have ipfw(8) (actually IPFW2) from FreeBSD. Not PF.

Re: PF references
[Oops, was supposed to go to list] Hi, Where (what) is the canonical site (or book) for PF. What Nick said. And Building Firewalls with OpenBSD and PF by Jacek Artymiak is very nice. See the Books that help link on openbsd.org. HTH... Nico

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.
