I accept that I have an unusual layout. In some ways it was based on the
CARP documentation so it is not a great surprise that it includes "about the
_only_ legitimate use for this feature". I am OK with the fact that what I
am doing is unsupported and my require me to do the odd hack each time I
upgrade.
If you wish I can do the following:-
Document the setup including the hack to get it to work (in case anyone else
wants to achieve the same)
PS I am already trying to find time to submit my changes for local RFC 2136
updates from the pfsense DHCP server to HEAD (the changes I did against RC2
failed miserably when applied to HEAD and as you know the window is closed
for inclusion in 1.0).
For info my carp setup is as follows:-
Firewall 1 WAN 10.0.0.3
# ifconfig
.....
carp0: flags=49<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 1500
inet 10.0.0.4 netmask 0xffffff00
carp: BACKUP vhid 1 advbase 1 advskew 200
carp1: flags=49<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 1500
inet 10.0.0.4 netmask 0xffffff00
carp: MASTER vhid 2 advbase 1 advskew 0
Firewall 2 WAN 10.0.0.5
# ifconfig
.....
carp0: flags=49<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 1500
inet 10.0.0.4 netmask 0xffffff00
carp: MASTER vhid 1 advbase 1 advskew 0
carp1: flags=49<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 1500

carp: BACKUP vhid 2 advbase 1 advskew 200
