Superb, thanks Martin I hadn’t considered that.   Regards,   Steve     From: Fuchs, Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2006 4:57 PM To: support@pfsense.com Subject: AW: [pfSense Support] CARP NIC overhead?   Well, have a look at multiport NIC's. I've set up my system with 2-port Intel NICs and tried out 4-port NICs too...   They work well and pfSense supports up to 32 NICs...   so there should be no problem for you to get it up and running ! :-)   Martin   Von: Steve Harman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 21.

Hi!   I’m spec’ing up a couple of machines to buy for running pfSense in a CARP-cluster model.  From reading the tutorial, am I right in thinking that this would require a NIC dedicated to the CARP functionality?   We need to provide a number of subnets so combined with the CARP NIC I’m trying to work out how many PCI slots (PC NICs) we need in each box!   Thanks,   Steve
