announce nat pool to ospf

2013-06-05 Thread Kapetanakis Giannis

Hi,

I'm setting up a pair off redundant carp/pfsync firewalls/routers to 
perform as VLAN gateways.
The firewalls will announce the VLAN networks to OSPF and also will do 
NAT on traffic destinating to the internet.


I'm using a carp interface to announce the NAT pool to OSPF which works 
but I'm not feeling very sure about it.
I've also tried setting up a blackhole route but failover didn't work on 
carpdemote.


Would anyone suggest a better way to do this?

thanks,

Giannis

This seems perfectly reasonable to me, and useful whether it's done to
announce into OSPF as well, or just straight routing.

I've also done similar using carp interfaces for a subnet covering
VPN clients before (using ifstated to kill isakmpd on the backup /
start isakmpd on the master, as needed).
